GitHub CLI Essentials

Master GitHub from your terminal using the gh CLI tool.

Step 1 of 911%

The GitHub CLI (gh) lets you manage repositories, issues, pull requests, and more directly from your terminal without switching to a browser.

The GitHub CLI bridges the gap between local Git operations and GitHub's web-based features. Instead of context-switching between your editor, terminal, and browser, you can stay in the flow and do everything from the command line. It's especially powerful when combined with shell scripting and aliases — you can automate entire workflows without ever opening a browser tab.
