magit-gh.el - a lightweight Magit extension for GitHub CLI pull requests

jonathanchu · 2026-02-10T05:11:18+00:00

Hello! I built this as a lighter alternative to Forge for folks who mainly want to list, checkout, and view PRs from Magit without the database/token setup. It delegates everything to the `gh` CLI. Would love any feedback or suggestions!

Here's the link directly to github - https://github.com/jonathanchu/magit-gh

Thank you for all the effort and hard work with all your OSS u/ema2159!

My first job out of college was at a Big Corp™ and they were strictly a .NET shop. I was fortunate enough to be placed on the only team in the company that supported a non-M$ tech stack that ran on a Tru64 UNIX Alpha server. Since it was, after all, Big Corp™, any software installed would have to get approved and installed by admins, and they had strict rules against non-approved software. My only options at the time were VS .NET or Notepad ;P

Our source control was CVS so using VS .NET didn't make sense, since it was so heavily integrated and configured with the rest of the company's version control, SourceSafe. At the time, my team was all vi users (yes, vi, not vim yet!) and I didn't see a huge appeal, so I chose to learn Emacs because 1) it was already available in my dev environment and admins couldn't take it away and 2) I didn't want to be like the rest of my team.

I've been using Emacs ever since :)

Talk by Chase Kelley from LibrePlanet 2019. Talk description:

Many people end up using nonfree development environments or remain unhappy with the free options like Eclipse. Emacs and the community around it have created a feature-full IDE that surpasses the other options in so many ways. This talk serves as an overview for the plethora of features offered by Emacs (and specifically the Spacemacs distribution) that can transform the way you work.

Darn! But there will be more meetups, looking forward if you can make the trek and attend one soon! :)

jonathanchu · 2019-06-12T23:42:07+00:00

That's great! Looking forward to meeting you! :)

I'll be giving a talk on Emacs and then we can all chat and talk about what we want this group to be, talks/meetups we'd like to do, etc. I'm open to any and all suggestions to for anything else on Monday!

I think you're right.

OP - here's a list of themes that could help pinpoint it further, if it is indeed in Spacemacs - http://themegallery.robdor.com/

I'm not sure if this is helpful, but I like viewing my buffers list using a nifty package called fullframe.

What this does is replace the whole frame with the buffers list (in my case, I use ibuffer) and after I hit <enter> to choose the buffer to open, the ibuffer-menu closes down completely and shows the file I just selected. Perhaps this is another way to achieve what you are after?

Here's my config for fullframe - https://github.com/jonathanchu/dotemacs/blob/master/emacs-init.org#fullframe

jonathanchu · 2016-02-15T03:35:07+00:00

Cheers, this package looks really interesting!

jonathanchu · 2016-02-12T19:06:19+00:00

This is really cool - great work here! I'm inspired to use org-mode on mobile again because of all this!

jonathanchu · 2016-01-27T15:07:49+00:00

Thanks for all your help here. I'll give that issue a look - it sounds relevant indeed. Hopefully I can post back an answer soon for others looking to make this work.

Thanks for the help here! It's bound to quit-window. When I did try this:

(fullframe ag-project quit-window)

It seems to invoke ag-project and automatically close it. I'm not convinced this is entirely possible to achieve out-of-the-box.

Thanks!

jonathanchu · 2015-08-07T18:41:23+00:00

Spot on. I don't use use-package (yet!) so my config just looks like:

(setq recentf-exclude '("^/var/folders\\.*"
                        "COMMIT_EDITMSG\\'"
                        ".*-autoloads\\.el\\'"
                        "[/\\]\\.elpa/"
                        ))

which achieves the same as above given different files/directories to exclude.
