gh - The GitHub CLI tool

The #ce-cli team is working on a publicly available CLI tool to reduce the friction between GitHub and one's local machine for people who use the command line primarily to interact with Git and GitHub. https://github.com/github/releases/issues/659

This tool is an endeavor separate from github/hub, which acts as a proxy to git, since our aim is to reimagine from scratch the kind of command line interface to GitHub that would serve our users' interests best.

Installation

warning, gh is in a very alpha phase

macOS

brew install github/gh/gh

Debian/Ubuntu Linux

  1. sudo apt install git if you don't already have git
  2. Download the .deb file from the releases page
  3. sudo dpkg -i gh_*_linux_amd64.deb install the downloaded file

(Uninstall with sudo apt remove gh)

Fedora/Centos Linux

  1. Download the .rpm file from the releases page
  2. sudo yum localinstall gh_*_linux_amd64.rpm install the downloaded file

(Uninstall with sudo yum remove gh)

Other Linux

  2. tar -xf gh_*_linux_amd64.tar.gz
  3. Copy the uncompressed gh somewhere on your $PATH (e.g. sudo cp gh_*_linux_amd64/bin/gh /usr/local/bin/)

Process

How to create a release

This can all be done from your local terminal.

  1. git tag 'vVERSION_NUMBER' # example git tag 'v0.0.1'
  2. git push origin vVERSION_NUMBER
  3. Wait a few minutes for the build to run and CI to pass. Look at the actions tab to check the progress.
  4. Go to https://github.com/github/homebrew-gh/releases and look at the release

Test a release

A local release can be created for testing without creating anything official on the release page.

  1. git tag 'v6.6.6' # some throwaway version number
  2. env GH_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=foobar GH_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=1234 goreleaser --skip-publish --rm-dist
  3. Check and test files in dist/
  4. git tag -d v6.6.6 # delete the throwaway tag
