gh-dash

gh-dash is a gh CLI extension providing a configurable terminal UI dashboard for GitHub. It presents PRs and issues in a two-column layout, each section driven by an arbitrary GitHub search query defined in ~/.config/gh-dash/config.yml. Keyboard actions cover the full review workflow without leaving the terminal: open in browser, checkout branch, view diff, comment, merge, and close. Written in Go using the bubbletea TUI framework, the project has approximately 11,700 GitHub stars and was last updated in May 2026.

Installation is a single command: gh extension install dlvhdr/gh-dash. No additional dependencies beyond the gh CLI.

Radar Assessment

Placed in Tools / Assess / inner.

gh-dash addresses the workflow cost of context-switching between terminal and browser for PR triage and review. The configurable query sections — for example, is:pr review-requested:@me, is:pr author:@me, or is:issue label:bug across multiple repos — make it directly applicable to any engineer managing review obligations across more than one repository.

Inner position reflects the single-command install path, 11,700 stars indicating broad adoption, active maintenance, and zero friction for anyone already using the gh CLI. The tool integrates into an existing terminal workflow rather than replacing it. Remaining gate before Trial is consistent daily use as the primary PR triage interface on an active project.

Trial gate: gh-dash configured with at least two custom sections and used as the primary interface for PR triage and review over a two-week period.
