Git Integration

Reliant integrates with Git for status, branching, worktrees, and pull-request workflows. Some GitHub-specific actions require the GitHub CLI (gh).

What requires GitHub CLI

Feature	Requires `gh`
Create PR from workspace	Yes
Push branch to remote	Yes
Detect repository default branch	Yes
View git status	No
Create commits	No
Create or switch branches	No
Create workspaces	No

Installing GitHub CLI

macOS

brew install gh

Linux

# Debian/Ubuntu
sudo apt install gh

# Fedora
sudo dnf install gh

Windows

winget install GitHub.cli

You can also download installers from cli.github.com.

Authenticating

After installation:

gh auth login

Follow the prompts to authenticate through the browser or a token-based flow.

Creating pull requests from workspaces

Create pull request dialog from a workspace

A typical flow is:

make changes in a workspace
review status and commit
push the branch
create a PR from the workspace UI

If gh is missing or unauthenticated, Reliant will surface an error and point you toward setup.

Default branch detection

Reliant uses gh to detect the repository’s default branch when available. If that fails, it falls back to conventional defaults such as main or master.
