This project is a command-line interface that bridges local development workflows with remote platform services. It functions as a terminal-based platform client, enabling users to manage repositories, issues, and pull requests directly from their command line through authenticated API interactions. The tool provides a modular environment that supports custom binary extensions and command aliases, allowing developers to tailor their terminal experience to specific project needs.
Beyond standard repository management, the tool serves as a remote development manager, offering capabilities to provision, configure, and connect to cloud-based development environments. It also functions as a software supply chain security utility, providing features to verify the authenticity and integrity of software artifacts through cryptographic signatures and signed attestations. Users can further streamline their operations by utilizing natural language processing to translate plain English prompts into executable shell commands.
The platform supports comprehensive workflow orchestration, including the ability to monitor continuous integration pipelines, manage workflow runs, and handle build artifacts. It also includes extensive administrative tools for project tracking, organization membership management, and repository governance, such as ruleset checking and label synchronization.
The tool is designed for integration into automated pipelines, allowing for task execution without requiring manual authentication. It maintains stateful configuration and supports credential-helper integration to manage authentication tokens securely across different development environments.
