GitHub Terminal Dashboard CLI Extension Guide

Start Here

Use the table as a quick chooser. The goal is to separate daily operational dashboards from preview, profile, and contribution-visualization tools.

Starter Pack

Inspect the workflow-specific install bundle, then install only the extensions that match your workflow. Do not pipe install bundles directly into a shell.

If you need to...	Start with	Why	Status	Install
Triage PRs, issues, and notifications daily	dash A rich terminal dashboard for pull requests, issues, and notifications.	The strongest first stop when GitHub work is a queue you review every day.	active	`gh extension install dlvhdr/gh-dash`
Browse GitHub resources in a compact TUI	lazy A terminal UI for interacting with GitHub.	A smaller terminal UI when you want exploration rather than a full maintainer cockpit.	active	`gh extension install gizmo385/gh-lazy`
Preview README or docs before pushing	markdown-preview Preview Markdown as it appears on GitHub.	Useful when the visual state you care about is GitHub-flavored Markdown rendering.	active	`gh extension install yusukebe/gh-markdown-preview`
Preview GitHub-flavored Markdown with offline-friendly tooling	gfm-preview Preview GitHub-flavored Markdown, including offline workflows.	A good alternative when you want a standalone Markdown preview path.	active	`gh extension install thiagokokada/gh-gfm-preview`
Explore GitHub profiles and ecosystems	eco Explore GitHub profiles and ecosystem information.	Better for discovery and profile context than operational triage.	watch	`gh extension install jrnxf/gh-eco`
Create a visual contribution-history artifact	skyline Generate a 3D model of GitHub contribution history.	Best when the output is a visual artifact rather than a productivity dashboard.	active	`gh extension install github/gh-skyline`
See contribution graphs in the terminal	graph Display a GitHub contribution graph in the terminal.	A narrow terminal visualization tool for contribution history.	active	`gh extension install kawarimidoll/gh-graph`

First Picks

Interface Fit

Use a dashboard when GitHub work is an operational queue. Use Markdown preview or contribution visualization tools when the output itself is the thing you need to inspect.

skyline Contribution skyline artifact Profile visualizations, demos, and community events. gh extension install github/gh-skyline

graph Terminal contribution graph Users who want contribution history without opening a profile page. gh extension install kawarimidoll/gh-graph

Freshness Notes

The atlas is a reviewed snapshot, not a live ranking. Recheck upstream repositories before adopting a TUI, especially when the extension opens persistent dashboards, requests broad repository access, or depends on local terminal UI behavior.
