Have you tried https://github.com/aviator-co/av

Have you used this? What’s your experience like?

I’m looking for ‘a tool’ like this to help manage code changes and communicating about those releases across a set of github repos.

Something to view ALL pull requests that i need to review, across repos?

maybe there's a quick way to do this but i would like a way to find a git commit, and trace it to the people that approved a PR that got it into the default branch.

it'd make my life easier to know who let the bug into prod

I use 'GitHub Projects' for this.

Tell me all the commits I've made for the day across all repos. Can be very helpful when attempting to capture time logs. I often work across several projects and/or several branches in a project daily.

I wrote a small shell function that does exactly that. Uses gh and yq (you can replace the yq part with jq) https://github.com/chrisgrieser/.config/blob/main/zsh/config...

I wish gitlens was in the GitHub.dev environment. I use it's like blame all the time!

I’d like to see fine grained control over what PR notifications I get. Let me unsubscribe from notifications for some of the teams I’m on but don’t need to directly review. This would make it easier for me to help my day-to-day team be more productive.

But… that’s probably not in scope for your tool.

No, that looks good. I have my own sets of scripts to manage so far.

I want an AI to take issues and turn them into PR's.

I want the PR's to be so good and well tested that I can actually approve them and commit them to the project.
