I'm new to git and I'd like to be able to map plans and progress for my project through github.

The problem is, that requires lots of clicking around with a browser on github.com, and I'd like to be able to automate the task somewhat by using a command line program.

Is there a command line interface for github?

There's a ghi gem that you can use to manage issues.

The most commonly used ghi commands are:
   list        List your issues (or a repository's)
   show        Show an issue's details
   open        Open (or reopen) an issue
   close       Close an issue
   edit        Modify an existing issue
   comment     Leave a comment on an issue
   label       Create, list, modify, or delete labels
   assign      Assign an issue to yourself (or someone else)
   milestone   Manage project milestones
