GitHub CLI clients [closed]

Tags:

I'd like to use GitHub more from the command line and less through the web.

Of course, everything related to Git repos can be done through the Git client. But I'd like to also do GitHub-specific things like creating forks or managing pull requests.

Given that GitHub seems to have a pretty comprehensive API with libraries in many languages, I was wondering if there are any good command-line clients out there to interact with GitHub?
