Installation

Get started using dash to review and manage your GitHub work items.

  1. Install the gh CLI

    Terminal window
    brew install gh # e.g. if on macOS

    Or, see the installation instructions for other platforms.

  2. Install this extension:

    Terminal window
    gh extension install dlvhdr/gh-dash
  3. To get the icons to render properly, you should download and install a Nerd font. Then, select that font as your font for the terminal.

    Terminal window
    brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts && brew install --cask font-fira-code-nerd-font

How do I get these exact colors and font? The screenshots in this documentation use Alacritty with the tokyonight theme and the Fira Code Nerd Font. For the full setup, see these dotfiles.


If you want to install this extension manually, follow these steps:

  1. Clone the repo

    Terminal window
    # git
    git clone https://github.com/dlvhdr/gh-dash
    # GitHub CLI
    gh repo clone dlvhdr/gh-dash
  2. cd into it

    Terminal window
    cd gh-dash
  3. Install it locally

    Terminal window
    gh extension install .
