## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung
GCLI is a portable command-line client for working with multiple software forges through one interface. Its README frames the project as an answer to single-forge tools: instead of remembering separate commands for GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, Forgejo, and Bugzilla, GCLI presents a shared CLI.
### Projektgeschichte
The public GitHub repository was created in October 2021, while the project homepage and README both point to Sourcehut, GitLab, and GitHub development surfaces. The project is written as a small, portable C tool with few dependencies, manual pages, built-in help, and support for scripted and interactive use.
### Adoptionsgeschichte
The project homepage says GCLI is available in various distributions and asks users to submit packages for their preferred operating systems. The README lists tested systems across BSDs, Solaris and OmniOS, Debian and Devuan, Gentoo, Fedora, Alpine, Haiku, Minix, Darwin, and Windows/MSYS2, which signals a portability-first package culture.
### Wie es verwendet wird
GCLI manages issues, merge requests, continuous integration, releases, and milestones from the terminal. It also integrates with Git and GoT, and its preferred contribution workflow is mailing-list based, with GitLab and GitHub mirrors accepted as alternatives.
### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren
GCLI is interesting because it deliberately avoids the modern pattern of one CLI per forge. For package maintainers, the notable traits are the C implementation, small dependency set, manual-page documentation, broad Unix portability testing, and explicit support for old-school email patch workflows.
### Zeitleiste
- 2021: GitHub records the public GCLI repository creation.
- 2024: The official release archive contains the 1.0 and 2.x release series.
- 2026: The release archive lists 2.12.0, and the repository remained active in June 2026.
### Related projects
- GitHub CLI is named by the README as the single-forge contrast that motivated GCLI.
