GitHub Board

See your GitHub issues, pull requests and discussions on one board, and hand any of them to an agent thread. Four columns cover what you wrote, what is open on repositories you own and what is assigned to you, and an issue that a pull request closes folds into that pull request's card. Pull request cards show CI checks and branch status, with an Update branch button wherever you can push. A detail panel shows the body, comments and images, and labels are added or removed from a right-click menu. Send to chat opens bb's new-thread composer on a card, with a prompt you set per column and per project, in the bb project that has the repository checked out. Requires the GitHub CLI (gh) installed and signed in on the machine running the bb server.

Overview

View source

A GitHub board inside bb: your issues, draft pull requests, open pull requests and discussions in four columns, beside the threads that work on them.

What you get

  • The work you wrote, whatever is open on repositories you own, and what is assigned to you, on one board. On a narrow window the columns become tabs.
  • Issues fold into the pull request that closes them, so one piece of work is one card.
  • Open pull requests show their CI checks, and an out-of-date or conflicting branch says so, with an Update branch button wherever you can push to the repository.
  • A detail panel with the body, comments and images. Images from outside GitHub load only when you ask.
  • Labels added and removed from a right-click menu.
  • Send to chat opens bb's new-thread composer on a card, with a prompt you can set per column and per project, in the bb project that has the repository checked out.

What it needs

The GitHub CLI, gh, installed and signed in on the machine running the bb server. The board uses that login and stores no token of its own.

FirstMate CrewHand one agent your to-do list and it runs a crew of worker threads, each in its own git worktree, until the work lands. The first mate is a pinned thread in bb's own chat that writes each worker's instructions, supervises it, and brings back branches, pull requests, findings and only the decisions that are yours. A FirstMate tab shows the crew as a board of Queued, Working, Blocked, Parked, Done, Failed and Idle, with Steer, Interrupt, Relaunch and End on every card. A built-in watch tells the first mate within about five minutes when a pull request is merged, reviewed or changes check status. Requires git, and the logged-in gh CLI for the pull request watch; a capable model such as Claude Sonnet is recommended for the first mate.New
