Use the Github CLI for a Productivity Bump!
Github offers a binary that allows you to interact with Github.com!
How to Install
There are plenty of ways to get the CLI. https://github.com/cli/cli#installation
I installed the Github CLI via homebrew.
Once installed, you can use the CLI by entering gh
in your shell.
Helpful Commands
I use aliases in my .zshrc
file to quickly run specific gh
commands.
Some commands open the relevant information that I want in a browser. If you want to see this information in your terminal, remove the –web CLI param.
