Counts unlabeled, assigned, unassigned, milestoned, demilestoned, locked, unlocked over the last 12 months. These are issue and pull request events that require triage or write permission. Commits and code review are not counted. labeled and renamed are excluded because GitHub issue forms record the issue author as the actor. Figures from October 18, 2026. This count is not comparable across projects: each project's automation decides which of these events a person emits. How this is counted.

Detailed Description

NativeScript CLI is a command-line tool that lets you create, build, and deploy NativeScript applications for mobile platforms.

The tool solves the problem of building cross-platform native mobile apps by providing a unified command-line interface that handles project creation, compilation, and deployment to both Android and iOS. It exposes platform APIs directly to the JavaScript runtime with strong TypeScript support, allowing developers to write mobile applications in JavaScript or TypeScript while accessing native platform capabilities without requiring separate native code.

Developers should choose this tool if they want to build native mobile applications using JavaScript or TypeScript rather than learning platform-specific languages. It suits projects targeting both iOS and Android where a single codebase is preferable to maintaining separate native implementations. The tool is installed globally via npm and provides commands for creating new projects, developing with live reload capabilities, building optimized binaries, and running applications on devices or emulators.

The project maintains active engagement with community contributions through organized initiatives. Development follows structured processes for security and code quality, with documented requirements for branch protection, code review standards, and signed releases. The maintainers actively address vulnerabilities and keep token permissions appropriately scoped. The project includes comprehensive troubleshooting documentation and contribution guidelines to support both users and potential contributors.
