gh-threads
A read-only terminal UI for people receiving GitHub pull-request reviews. It shows open PRs, review threads with highlighted diff hunks and comment authors, reviewer/assignee state, and the latest commit's check rollup. Resolved threads start folded. The current PR is refreshed in the background.
Install and run
Requires Go 1.24+ and an authenticated GitHub CLI:
go install .
gh auth login
gh-threads --repo owner/repository
To run directly from a source checkout instead:
go run . --repo owner/repository
Use go run ., not go run main.go: the latter compiles only main.go and
omits the other files in the package.
For automation, GH_TOKEN or GITHUB_TOKEN can still be provided and takes
precedence over the GitHub CLI credential. Enterprise token environment
variables are also supported.
By default the PR picker only includes open PRs authored by the authenticated
user. Pass --all to include every open PR:
gh-threads --repo owner/repository --all --poll 15s
GitHub Enterprise Server can be used after authenticating that host:
gh auth login --hostname github.example.com
gh-threads --repo owner/repository \
--endpoint https://github.example.com/api/graphql

Current scope
The application is intentionally read-only. GitHub's GraphQL API currently limits this client to the first 100 review threads and first 100 comments per thread; the UI warns when the thread list is truncated. Markdown in comments is displayed as readable wrapped text rather than fully rendered Markdown.
