GitHub CLI (gh) is a comprehensive command-line reference tool that enables developers to manage repositories, issues, pull requests, Actions, projects, releases, gists, Codespaces, and organizations directly from the terminal. It solves the problem of context-switching between the web browser and command line by providing full GitHub functionality through CLI commands, making it ideal for developers who prefer keyboard-driven workflows and automation. The skill covers authentication, installation across multiple operating systems, and the complete command structure for all GitHub operations as of version 2.85.0.
