oh-gc CLI — GitCode Command Line Tool
Version: 0.7.4 | Updated: 2026-04-10
oh-gc is a CLI for GitCode, modeled after GitHub CLI (gh). Manages authentication, issues, pull requests, releases, and repo configuration from the terminal.
Package: npm install -g @oh-gc/cli (requires Node.js 18+)
⚠️ MANDATORY FIRST STEP — DO NOT SKIP
Run oh-gc --version as the VERY FIRST command before ANY other oh-gc command.
- If not found →
npm install -g @oh-gc/cli@{version}(use the version shown at the top of this document) - If the version does not match {version} →
npm install -g @oh-gc/cli@{version}to install the exact matching version - Do NOT run
oh-gc auth,oh-gc issue,oh-gc pr, or any other command until the version is confirmed matching.
Prerequisites
After confirming the version matches, check the following:
- Token configured? Run
oh-gc auth status
- If not logged in → oh-gc auth login (prompts for GitCode personal access token) - Token obtained at: GitCode → 个人设置 → 访问令牌
- Repository context? Either:
- Inside a git repo with a gitcode.com remote (remote name configurable via oh-gc repo set-remote <name>), OR - Use --repo owner/repo flag to specify any repository
Global Flags
All commands support:
--json— output raw JSON instead of formatted table--help— show command help
Repository Flag
Most commands that operate on a repository support the --repo flag, which allows specifying a target repository without being inside a git clone:
--repo owner/repo— target repository in OWNER/REPO format
This is useful for:
- Operating on repositories you haven't cloned locally
- Cross-repo operations (e.g., creating a PR from fork to upstream)
- CI/CD scripts that need to interact with multiple repositories
# List issues in any repository
oh-gc issue list --repo openharmony/arkui_ace_engine
# Create an issue without cloning
oh-gc issue create --repo owner/repo --title "Bug report"
# View a PR on another repo
oh-gc pr view 123 --repo owner/repo
# Cross-repo PR (fork to upstream) — use owner:branch for --head
oh-gc pr create --repo upstream-owner/repo --head myname:my-feature --base mainCommand Reference

Complete workflow from code change to merged PR:
Step 1: Create PR
oh-gc pr create --title "Add feature X" --base main
→ outputs PR number (e.g., #42)
Step 2: Assign people
oh-gc pr reviewers 42 alice,bob
oh-gc pr testers 42 carol
Step 3: Add metadata
oh-gc pr labels 42 feature,v2.0
oh-gc pr link 42 15,16 # Link related issues
Step 4: Review cycle
oh-gc pr diff 42 # Reviewer checks diff
oh-gc pr comments 42 # Check existing feedback
oh-gc pr comment 42 --body "LGTM"
oh-gc pr review 42 # Approve review
oh-gc pr test 42 # Mark test passed
Step 5: Merge
oh-gc pr merge 42 --method squashWorkflow: Issue Triage
Step 1: Find issues
oh-gc issue list --search "crash"
oh-gc issue list --state all --assignee alice
Step 2: Inspect
oh-gc issue view 15
Step 3: Respond
oh-gc issue comment 15 --body "Investigating, likely related to #12"
Step 4: Create follow-up
oh-gc issue create --title "Fix crash on login" --labels "bug,P0" --assignee bobWorkflow: Cross-Repo PR (Fork → Upstream)
For contributing to repositories you don't own, use --head owner:branch format to specify the fork owner and branch:
Step 1: Create PR from fork to upstream
oh-gc pr create --repo upstream-owner/repo --head myname:my-feature --base master --title "Fix bug"
Step 2: Manage on the upstream repo
oh-gc pr view 42 --json # Check statusNote: --repo targets the upstream repo. --head uses owner:branch format (colon separator) where owner is your GitCode username and branch is the branch name in your fork. Do NOT use owner/branch (slash) — the API requires a colon.

| Error | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| "Not logged in" | No token configured | oh-gc auth login |
| "Authentication failed" | Token expired or invalid | Re-run oh-gc auth login with new token |
| "Remote not found" | Not in a git repo or remote missing | cd to repo, check git remote -v |
| "Not a GitCode repository" | Remote URL isn't gitcode.com | Add a gitcode.com remote |
| "Could not connect" | Network issue or proxy not set | Check internet; set https_proxy env var if behind proxy |
| "Rate limit exceeded" | Too many API calls | Wait and retry |
| "API error 405" | Wrong HTTP method (internal) | Update oh-gc to latest version |
| "Can not find the branch" | --head missing fork owner prefix | Use --head owner:branch (colon, not slash) for cross-repo PRs |
URL Format
When constructing GitCode URLs for issues and PRs, use the singular form for PRs:
- Issue:
https://gitcode.com/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{number}(plural: issues) - PR:
https://gitcode.com/{owner}/{repo}/pull/{number}(singular: pull, NOT pulls)
Common mistake: Using /pulls/ (GitHub style) instead of /pull/. GitCode uses singular pull, not pulls.
Tips
- Use
--jsonto pipe output tojqfor scripting:oh-gc pr list --json | jq '.[].title' - Use
--repo owner/repoto operate on any repository without cloning it first - Interactive mode (no flags) prompts for required fields — useful for one-off operations
oh-gc pr comments --comment-type diff_commentfilters to only code review commentsoh-gc pr reviewers --appendadds reviewers without replacing existing onesoh-gc pr update --state closedis the way to close a PR without merging- When reporting PR links to the user, always use
https://gitcode.com/{owner}/{repo}/pull/{number}(singularpull)
