GitHub CLI
gh is GitHub on the command line. It brings pull requests, issues, and other GitHub concepts to the terminal next to where you are already working with git and your code.
GitHub CLI is available for repositories hosted on GitHub.com and GitHub Enterprise Server 2.20+, and to install on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Documentation
For installation options see below, for usage instructions see the manual.
Contributing
If anything feels off, or if you feel that some functionality is missing, please check out the contributing page. There you will find instructions for sharing your feedback, building the tool locally, and submitting pull requests to the project.
If you are a hubber and are interested in shipping new commands for the CLI, check out our doc on internal contributions.

Comparison with hub
For many years, hub was the unofficial GitHub CLI tool. gh is a new project that helps us explore
what an official GitHub CLI tool can look like with a fundamentally different design. While both
tools bring GitHub to the terminal, hub behaves as a proxy to git, and gh is a standalone
tool. Check out our more detailed explanation to learn more.
