The executable includes the Python runtime and wxPython — you do not need to install Python separately.

You do need the GitHub CLI (gh) installed and authenticated (gh auth login).

What’s new

New features

• Open any repo by URL — browse any public GitHub repository (or one you have access to) without cloning it first.
  • File → Open Repository… (Ctrl+Shift+O) opens a dialog where you paste a GitHub URL or OWNER/NAME.
  • Accepts https://github.com/owner/name, .git URLs, SSH URLs, and paths like /pull/123 (extra path is stripped).
  • All views work — issues, PRs, branches, commits, tags, releases, and workflow runs.
  • Write actions (close/reopen/comment) work on repos where your gh-authenticated account has permission.
• Pinned repositories — repos opened by URL are saved to %APPDATA%\ghmanage\pinned_repos.json and shown in the left repo list across sessions.
  • Pinned repos appear at the top of the list with a 📌 marker.
  • File → Remove from List… removes the selected pinned repo.
  • Your own repos (from gh repo list) are always fetched fresh and can’t be removed from here.
• Fork-aware issue fetching — selecting a fork now pulls issues and PRs from its upstream parent.
  • Forks on GitHub have issues disabled by default; the issues live on the parent (upstream) repo.
  • The status bar notes when items come from upstream, e.g. kellylford/quill (issues from upstream Community-Access/quill).
  • Close, reopen, comment, and detail-fetch all target the upstream repo for forks.

Improvements

• Informative window title — the title bar now shows the current view, branch (where relevant), repo, and app name, e.g. Commits — main — kellylford/quill — ghviewer.
• Default load count raised to 100 — the initial fetch now grabs up to 100 items instead of 30. “View More” (Ctrl++) still grows the list by 100 at a time.
