GitHub (Tool)

Beyond the platform, GitHub provides powerful CLI tools (gh) and Desktop apps that streamline workflows.

When to Use

  • PR Management: gh pr create, gh pr checkout.
  • CLI: Scripting GitHub Actions or releases.
  • Copilot: Managing AI settings.

Core Concepts

GitHub CLI (gh)

The official CLI. gh repo create my-new-repo --public --clone

Codespaces

Cloud dev environment. gh codespace create.

Gists

Code snippets. gh gist create file.txt.

Best Practices (2025)

Do:

  • Use gh dash: A dashboard extension for the CLI to view PRs/Issues.
  • Use gh copilot: CLI interface for Copilot ("Explain this command").

Don't:

  • Don't use password auth: It's disabled. Use PAT or SSH.
