Repository navigation
add a local switch so it is easy to check local tickets etc #790
Description
Describe the feature or problem you’d like to solve
easy viewing of local repo issues and maybe other things
I forked quii/learn-go-with-tests to ms4720/learn-go-with-tests and would like a simple way to say use local repo resources like tickets, I made a ticket for each chapter and a couple of milestones for the project
Proposed solution
add a -l and/or --local switch so you just use local resources
How will it benefit CLI and its users?
just much simpler than -R ms4720/... when I am in the local repo

Hi, if you clone a project locally and change the current directory of your shell into it:
cd learn-go-with-testsMost GitHub CLI commands without any extra arguments like
gh issue listwill by default query resources from the GitHub repository that the local repo is a clone of:gh issue list #=> shows issues from the 'quii/learn-go-with-tests' repoHowever, when you are in a local project that is a fork, we will still query the parent repo (
quii) by default. Is your feature proposal to queryms4720/learn-go-with-testsinstead? Any clarification would be helpful. Thank you!See also #350 for past discussion

yes checking local tickets, the tickets I made for the ms4720 repo

Gotcha, thanks!
Right now your only option is to be explicit about every operation as to which repo do you want to query:
but I understand that this is repetitive, since you will always prefer to look up the data in your own fork.

gh now asks about what repo to use for issue queries; i'm going to close this in the hopes that that suffices but if not we can continue discussion and reopen
