Introduction
Git all remotes (gitar) is a command line tool that brings common development operations such as opening a pull request down to the shell. It works with multiple domains such as Github and Gitlab. It can be seen as an alternative to both Github https://github.com/cli/cli and Gitlab https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/cli cli tools. The scope is smaller as the main focus is not to implement all the workflows but the ones a software engineer might use more often, such as opening merge requests or quickly gathering information about important processes like the status of a pipeline or releases.
Gitar implements the REST API for Gitlab and Github following best practices, such as respecting rate limits and pagination. It also implements local caching to minimize interacting with the REST API and it uses conditional HTTP requests when the local cache is considered expired.
The tool is written in Rust and it is available for Linux, MacOS.
