Action menu
Every action offered for a repository, and which ones depend on whether it is cloned or yours.
enter on a repository opens its action menu. The rows are numbered, and pressing a number runs that row. The menu is built per repository, so the numbers change with the entries on offer. With --print-path, enter skips the menu.

Clone branch
Opens a picker of the repository's branches and tags, with tags marked. Type to search, enter to clone that ref with git clone --branch REF, esc to go back.
View README
Asks GitHub which file is the README, so docs/README.md, .github/README.md and odd casing all work. It is rendered with the active theme.
After the screen closes
Clone, pull, editor, copy and open actions run after the screen has closed, so their output prints in your normal terminal. Pull prints Pulling PATH…, and a clone prints Cloning OWNER/REPO → TARGET… on stderr, with the branch when there is one.
The details panel next to the menu shows access, fork parent, language, stars, last push, license, size and local path. On a narrow terminal the summary moves into the menu panel.
