The GitHub CLI is a tool to interact with GitHub via your command line. See https://cli.github.com/ for more information.

This is my cheat-sheep 🐑. It covers most of my use cases but is neither feature-complete nor claims to be correct. Feel free to use/copy/modify it, but use it with caution.

Basics

gh help                        # Print help message
gh auth login                  # Login to GitHub

gh status                      # List ongoing things and notifications

Pull requests

gh pr --help                   # Print help for the pull-request command

gh pr list                     # List currently open pull-requests
gh pr view                     # View pull-request of current branch
gh pr create                   # Create PR based on current branch
