What problem it solves

GitHub workflows often require moving between a terminal and GitHub to manage pull requests, issues, and other GitHub concepts. This project places those capabilities alongside git and code, reducing the need for separate browser-based interactions.

Key features

• GitHub workflows in the terminal — Manage pull requests, issues, and other GitHub concepts directly from the command line alongside git and code.

  Source: README

• Cross-platform and enterprise support — The tool supports macOS, Windows, and Linux, as well as GitHub.com, GitHub Enterprise Cloud, and supported GitHub Enterprise Server versions.

  Source: README

• Multiple installation routes — Installation guidance covers platform-specific package managers, precompiled binaries, source builds, Codespaces, and GitHub Actions.

• Coding agent integration — A built-in agent skill lets coding agents drive `gh`, with commands for installing and updating the skill.

  Source: README

• Verifiable release binaries — Releases can be checked with `gh` or Sigstore `cosign` using build provenance attestations.

Quick start

Copied verbatim from the project's README.

# Install the skill (user scope recommended)
gh skill install cli/cli gh --scope user

# Update the skill after a `gh` release
gh skill update gh

Who it may suit

Inference: may suit developers and contributors who already work with GitHub from a terminal and want pull requests, issues, or related workflows close to their code.

Topics to discuss

• Which terminal workflows should receive improved guidance or command composition?

• How should the agent skill evolve as coding-agent integrations change?

• What additional release-verification workflows would help users verify downloaded binaries?
