gir is a simple, offline github issues reader in your terminal.

It utilizies the new Github GraphQL API which drastically reduces the amount of requests which have to be sent over the wire to download the issues. On the downside, this requires each user to join the github early-access program and create a personal access token which has to be exposed as the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable.

Current repository

gir has a concept of an "current repository" which allows you to omit the target repository when calling the gir list and gir show commands. You can set this current repository using the gir cr command.

> gir cr --help
    gir cr <owner/name> allows you to set a default repository for gir list and gir show.
    
    Example:
        > gir repos
            golang/go (1600 issues)
        > gir list
            No repository specified. You either have to specify a repo as an argument or enter a scope.
        > gir cr golang/go
        > gir list
