What is it?

octo.nvim brings GitHub issues, pull requests, and discussions into Neovim. Each item opens in a regular buffer, so you can edit the title, body, or comments as text and run :w to sync the changes back to GitHub. Commands cover adding and editing comments, managing labels, reactions, assignees, reviewers and project cards, and listing or searching items with filters.

The plugin relies on the GitHub CLI (gh) for API access, so authentication is handled by gh. It supports GitHub Enterprise hosts, either through a configured hostname or by passing enterprise URLs and octo:// links directly. Pull request review is a dedicated workflow with a changed-files panel, diff views, comment threads, and submission of approve, comment, or request-changes reviews.

It requires Neovim 0.10 or later and plenary.nvim, and can use telescope.nvim, fzf-lua, or snacks.nvim as the picker for list views.
