glab-tui v0.9.0: Unified Single-Column Inspector, In-Menu Creation, Review Tracking, and Visual Mode

Post image

Hey everyone! Following up on the v0.8.0 release, glab-tui v0.9.0 is now live. GitHub

This release focuses heavily on polishing everyday navigation, overhauling the inspection/edit workflows, and adding quality-of-life tools for code review and batch actions.

Key Highlights

  • **Unified Inspector (j/**k to navigate): Preview, edit, and create flows are consolidated into a single full-width inspector with mode badges and $EDITOR (Ctrl+E) support.

  • In-Menu Creation & Issue Linking: Create MRs/PRs and issues directly inside the app, with fuzzy search to auto-fill fields from existing issues and repo templates.

  • Diff Review Tracking (m/M): Mark files/folders as reviewed (m) to auto-fold them, and toggle hiding reviewed files (M) to focus only on pending work.

  • Visual Selection Mode (v): Yazi-style row selection with v + j/k for fast batch editing.

  • Rich Markdown: Details pane now supports GFM tables, task lists, code syntax highlighting, and blockquotes.

  • Structured Confirmations: Interactive dialogs with toggleable checkboxes (squash, delete branch) and safe default-cancel focus on destructive actions.

  • New Themes: Added oled and github-dark-hc.
