nova-cli

Small git helpers used by the nova.

Subcommands

• nova new <issue#> — create a branch from a GitHub issue.
• nova new <name> — create a branch with the given name.
• nova tidy — interactively delete merged branches.
• nova jump [name] — switch branches (interactive picker if no name).

Install

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kalmbach/nova-cli/refs/heads/main/install.sh | bash -s --

This installs:

• ~/.local/bin/nova — the CLI.
• ~/.local/share/bash-completion/completions/nova — tab completion for nova and its aliases.

And adds aliases to:

• ~/.bash_aliases — short aliases (new, tidy, jump) for any names that don't collide with existing commands

Open a new shell (or source ~/.bashrc) to pick up the aliases.

Requirements

• git
• gum — interactive prompts.
• gh — only required for nova new <issue#>.
