Hi Nat. Big fan. I've been on GitHub for a long time now. There's a fair bit of friction in issue/PR management for people who have primarily CLI-centered workflows. I know that `hub` and friends exist, but will there be official, supported clients in the future?

Also: are there plans to open source more of GitHub? Post Microsoft acquisition, I have been increasingly concerned about vendor lock-in, EEE, and so forth.

Yes, we are working on an official CLI here: https://github.com/cli/cli

I think open sourcing GitHub is an interesting idea.

I love github, but the fact that it is not open source has always been a big problem to me, especially given that github has become the de-facto home for so many open source projects, yet is not itself open source. I would love to see that change to a model like Gitlab uses!

Oh, I did not realize that was official & supported. Excellent. Looking forward to its maturity.
