The only issue I have with this is having to type 'octogit' as a command or alias it, compared to 'hub' or 'git'.

Doesn't seem to me that any of these commands are actually run that often, and if that's wrong, is making an alias really that hard?

`octo` is better, shorter and catchier than `octogit` IMO. And a lot of people unfortunately don't know about aliases.

off-topic, but what's this font? https://github.com/myusuf3/octogit/raw/gh-pages/assets/img/r...

Based on the lowercase "g" I assume it's the same as GitHub's, which is apparently a [modified version of Collegiate][1].

I wish the author could have just contributed to hub ( https://github.com/defunkt/hub )... It would be very cool if 'hub' had issues support. Oh well, this is written in Python, and 'hub' is Ruby.

I'm going to suggest that hub adds issues support via the ghi gem: https://github.com/stephencelis/ghi/

it hasn't been updated in ages, which is a shame really as last time I checked a lot of the super useful commands (like transforming an issue into a PR) were not working because of the v3 API

Would be nice to see someone take on maintaining hub, or at least fixing the broken stuff. Zach Holman spoke highly of it in "Git and Github Secrets" a few weeks ago.

defunkt is prolific, almost too prolific. He abandons a lot of awesome projects.

That's a completely different font.

Before defunkt's hub there was App::GitHub so it might have been good if everyone had contributed to this :)

I was under the impression mislav was maintaining it at the moment. At least I've seen some commits from him in the last 2 months, including some a few hours ago, although that might have been prompted by this thread.
