gitcmd is a CLI application to create, update and retrieve Github issues.

Ensure you have the Go compiler installed on your system. Visit this link to install Go: https://go.dev/doc/install

After installing, head to the folder directory on your terminal and run the following command:

go build .

On initial run, you will be asked to provide your access token. Please refer to this link to get your access token: https://github.com/settings/tokens

Note: When copying/pasting the token, add the prefix "token" to the copied token. For example:

token ghp_uf78HGu78u8oysweaaDFrWh2usG1B 

Additionally, you will be asked to set your default repository. This can always be changed at every run.

Object file name: The folder name is assumed as "gitcmd" which may also be the name of compiled file.
