About gh-cli
gh-cli
Complete GitHub CLI reference for repositories, issues, pull requests, Actions
gh-cli is an agent skill from the github/awesome-copilot collection that serves as a reference for the GitHub CLI, the gh command that brings GitHub to the terminal. The reference covers more than twenty command categories with over a hundred subcommands: repositories, issues, pull requests, workflows and Actions, projects, releases, gists, codespaces, organizations, extensions and search. It states the version it was written against and gives installation steps for macOS with Homebrew and for Linux from the official package repository. With the reference loaded, an agent can answer questions about how to do something in gh, such as listing issues across an organization, reviewing or merging a pull request, re-running a failed workflow, creating a release, or searching code, and can run the commands on the user's behalf in a terminal. The skill is useful for developers and operators who work mainly in the terminal and want quick, accurate command syntax without searching the manual. Some gh commands change repositories, merge pull requests, close issues or delete resources, so the agent should confirm destructive or shared-state actions before running them, and the authentication it uses should be a token scoped to the work at hand. The command reference reflects a specific CLI version, so flags should be checked against the installed version. The skill is installed with the skills CLI from the github/awesome-copilot repository. Its skills.sh page showed about 21.2K installs, with Gen Agent Trust Hub and Socket passing and Snyk showing a warning at the time of the scan.
