octoscope v0.10.0 — drill-in details, action menu, clipboard

Hey Hunters! 👋

Quick update on octoscope, the cross-platform terminal dashboard for GitHub. v0.10.0 just shipped and it's the first release where the app steps beyond "summary dashboard" — you can now drill into a single repo / PR / issue without leaving the terminal.

What's new:

⌨️ Action menu — press space on any row of Repos / PRs / Issues to open a centered modal:

┌─ Actions for octoscope ─────────────────┐
│  ▸ o  Open in GitHub                    │
│    d  View details                      │
│    c  Copy URL                          │
└─────────────────────────────────────────┘

enter confirms, single letters are direct shortcuts (lazygit-style), esc closes, q quits at any depth.

🔍 Repo drill-in (d from the menu) — replaces the Repos tab body with a rich detail view:

• Header with visibility / license / language chips

• Description, quick stats, latest release

• Languages bar

• Recent commits with N total · M by you in the last year inline summary

• Open issues + PRs preview

• Topics

All in a single targeted GraphQL query per drill-in — no fan-out, fits cleanly in the rate-limit budget. esc returns to the list with the cursor preserved; r refetches.

📋 Copy URL (c) — drops the row's URL into your system clipboard via the right helper for the platform: pbcopy on macOS, clip on Windows, wl-copy / xclip / xsel on Linux. A URL copied toast confirms in the footer.

🛡️ Read-only by design — no mutating actions (close issue, merge PR). octoscope stays a read-only dashboard.

Try it:

brew install gfazioli/tap/octoscope
octoscope
# then on Repos: hit `space` on any row

The narrative behind this release is interesting too: the original plan was per-repo commit-count columns in the Repos list, but GitHub's gateway returned 502 when asking for history.totalCount across 100 repos in a single fan-out. The fix turned out to be a different shape — one targeted query per selected item rather than enriching the list — and along the way octoscope picked up the action menu and clipboard helper.

Sometimes the right architecture is not the first one 🥺
