Mislav Marohnić d75faab85a Creating a PR now always prioritizes an existing fork as a push target
Before: the default push target for the current branch in `pr create`
was the first repository found among git remotes that has write access.

Now: the default push target is the fork the base repo, if said fork
exists and has write access, falling back to old behavior otherwise.

This change in the default is to facilitate contributions to projects
that have a hard requirement that all pull requests (even those opened
by people with write access to that project) come from forks.

GitHub CLI

gh is GitHub on the command line, and it's now available in beta. It brings pull requests, issues, and other GitHub concepts to the terminal next to where you are already working with git and your code.

Availability

While in beta, GitHub CLI is available for repos hosted on GitHub.com only. It does not currently support repositories hosted on GitHub Enterprise Server or other hosting providers. We are planning support for GitHub Enterprise Server after GitHub CLI is out of beta (likely toward the end of 2020), and we want to ensure that the API endpoints we use are more widely available for GHES versions that most GitHub customers are on.

We need your feedback

GitHub CLI is currently early in its development, and we're hoping to get feedback from people using it.

If you've installed and used gh, we'd love for you to take a short survey here (no more than five minutes): https://forms.gle/umxd3h31c7aMQFKG7

And if you spot bugs or have features that you'd really like to see in gh, please check out the contributing page

Usage

  • gh pr [status, list, view, checkout, create]
  • gh issue [status, list, view, create]
  • gh repo [view, create, clone, fork]
  • gh help

Comparison with hub

For many years, hub was the unofficial GitHub CLI tool. gh is a new project for us to 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.
