Portable CLI tool for interacting with Git(Hub|Lab|Tea), Forgejo and Bugzilla from the command line.
The official GitHub CLI tool only supports GitHub. I wanted a simple unified tool for various git forges such as GitHub and GitLab because every forge does things differently yet all build on Git and purposefully break with its philosophy.
Recent tarballs can be downloaded here:
https://herrhotzenplotz.de/gcli/releases/
There are official packages available:
Required dependencies:
- libcurl
- yacc (System V yacc, Berkeley Yacc or Bison should suffice)
- lex (flex is preferred)
- C11 Compiler and linker
- make
- pkgconf or pkg-config
Optional dependencies:
- liblowdown
- libedit
- libreadline
The test suite requires:
In order to perform a build, do:
$ ./configure [--prefix=/usr/local]
$ make
# make [DESTDIR=/] installYou may leave out DESTDIR and --prefix=.
The above is the default value.
The final installation destination is $DESTDIR/$PREFIX/....
If you are unsure, consult the builtin configure help by running ./configure --help.
For more details also see HACKING.md.
In case any of this does not work, please either report a bug, or submit a patch in case you managed to fix it.
