Installation

ichi is a single Go binary. You’ll need Go 1.25+ and git available on your PATH.

Install with go install

go install github.com/atterpac/ichi/cmd/ichi@latest

This drops the ichi binary into $(go env GOPATH)/bin. Make sure that directory is on your PATH:

export PATH="$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin"

Build from source

git clone https://github.com/atterpac/ichi
cd ichi
go build -o ichi ./cmd/ichi

Run it

From inside any Git repository:

ichi

Or point it at a repository elsewhere:

ichi -path /path/to/repo

To skip the splash screen on launch:

ichi -no-splash

Flag	Default	Description
-path	.	Path to the Git repository to open
-no-splash	false	Skip the splash screen

GitHub features

The pull request views talk to GitHub. Authenticate with the gh CLI (gh auth login) so ichi can read your repository’s PRs.
