· 1 min read

GitHub CLI (gh) brings the power of GitHub to your terminal! Manage repositories, create issues, handle pull requests, and more - all without leaving your command line interface.

GitHub CLI

First, install GitHub CLI:

# macOS
brew install gh

# Windows
winget install GitHub.cli

# Linux (Ubuntu/Debian)
sudo apt install gh

Authenticate with your GitHub account:

gh auth login

Here are some powerful commands to get you started:

# Create a new repository
gh repo create my-project

# Clone a repository
gh repo clone owner/repo

# Create an issue
gh issue create --title "Bug: Login Issue" --body "Description here"

# Create a pull request
gh pr create --title "Feature: Add OAuth" --body "Implements OAuth login"

# View repository status
gh status

# List pull requests
gh pr list

# Check repository views
gh repo view --web

GitHub CLI makes your development workflow smoother by bringing GitHub's functionality right to your terminal. No more context switching between browser and terminal!
