About GitHub CLI

GitHub CLI is an open source tool for using GitHub from your computer's command line. When you're working from the command line, you can use the GitHub CLI to save time and avoid switching context.

Prerequisites

Install GitHub CLI on macOS, Windows, or Linux. For more information, see Installation in the GitHub CLI repository.
To authenticate to GitHub, run the following command from your terminal.
```
gh auth login
```
Select where you want to authenticate to:
- If you access GitHub at GitHub.com, select GitHub.com.
- If you access GitHub at a different domain, select Other, then enter your hostname (for example: octocorp.ghe.com).
Follow the rest of the on-screen prompts.

GitHub CLI automatically stores your Git credentials for you when you choose HTTPS as your preferred protocol for Git operations and answer "yes" to the prompt asking if you would like to authenticate to Git with your GitHub credentials. This can be useful as it allows you to use Git commands like git push and git pull without needing to set up a separate credential manager or use SSH.

Some useful commands

Note

When you use some commands for the first time - for example, gh codespace SUBCOMMAND - you'll be prompted to add extra scopes to your authentication token. Follow the onscreen instructions.

Viewing your status

Enter gh status to see details of your current work on GitHub across all the repositories you're subscribed to.

Viewing a repository

Enter gh repo view OWNER/REPO to see the repository description and README.md for the repository. Enter gh repo view OWNER/REPO --web to view the repository in your default browser.

If you run the repo subcommand from within the directory of a local Git repository that has a remote on GitHub you can omit OWNER/REPO.

Cloning a repository

Enter gh repo clone OWNER/REPO. For example, gh repo clone octo-org/octo-repo clones the octo-org/octo-repo repository to the directory from which you ran this command on your local computer.

Enter gh repo create and follow the on-screen instructions. You can create a new, empty repository on GitHub and then, optionally, clone it locally. Alternatively, you can push an existing local repository to GitHub, and optionally set it as the remote for your local repository. For information on setting a local directory as a Git repository, see "Adding locally hosted code to GitHub."

Working with issues

Enter gh issue list --repo OWNER/REPO to list the most recently created issues that are currently open for the specified repository. If you run the issue subcommand from within the directory of a local Git repository that has a remote on GitHub you can omit --repo OWNER/REPO. For example, enter gh issue list --assignee "@me" to list issues assigned to you in this repository, or gh issue list --author monalisa to list issues created by the user "monalisa."

You can also create a new issue, see "Creating an issue," or search for an issue, see "Filtering and searching issues and pull requests."

Working with pull requests

Enter gh pr list --repo OWNER/REPO to list the most recently created pull requests that are currently open for the specified repository. If you run the pr subcommand from within the directory of a local Git repository that has a remote on GitHub you can omit --repo OWNER/REPO. For example, enter gh pr list --author "@me" to list open pull requests that you created in this repository.

Enter gh pr list --label LABEL-NAME to list open pull requests with a specific label. Enter gh search prs --review-requested=@me --state=open to list pull requests that you've been asked to review.

To create a pull request, enter gh pr create and follow the on-screen instructions. For more information, see "Creating a pull request."

Working with codespaces

To create a new codespace, enter gh codespace create and follow the on-screen instructions.

To display your existing codespaces, enter gh codespace list. To open a codespace in the web version of VS Code enter gh codespace code -w and choose a codespace .

In all of these commands you can substitute cs for codespace.

Getting help

Enter gh for a reminder of the top-level GitHub CLI commands that you can use. For example, issue, pr, repo, and so on.

For each command, and each subsidiary subcommand, you can append the --help flag to find out how it's used. For example, gh issue --help or gh issue create --help.

Customizing GitHub CLI

You can change configuration settings and add aliases or extensions, to make GitHub CLI work the way that suits you best.

Enter gh config set SUBCOMMANDS to configure GitHub CLI's settings, replacing SUBCOMMANDS with the setting you want to adjust.

For example, you can specify the text editor that's used when a GitHub CLI command requires you to edit text - such as when you add the body text for a new issue you're creating. To set your preferred text editor to Visual Studio Code enter gh config set editor "code -w". The -w (or --wait) flag in this example causes the command to wait for the file to be closed in Visual Studio Code before proceeding with the next step in your terminal.

For more information, see gh config set.
Define aliases for commands that you commonly run. For example, if you run gh alias set prd "pr create --draft", you will then be able to run gh prd to quickly open a draft pull request. For more information, see gh alias.
Create or add custom commands with GitHub CLI extensions. For more information, see "Using GitHub CLI extensions" and "Creating GitHub CLI extensions."

Using GitHub CLI with multiple accounts

If you have multiple accounts on the same GitHub platform, such as your GitHub Enterprise Server instance, you can authenticate to each one and switch between them using the gh auth switch command. See gh auth switch in the GitHub CLI manual.

If you need to use the GitHub CLI across multiple GitHub platforms, such as a personal account on GitHub.com and a managed user account on GHE.com, see "Using the GitHub CLI across GitHub platforms."
