GitHub CLI

This skill owns GitHub operations. Use the local gh CLI for GitHub reads and writes, including GitHub URLs and GitHub code search.

Start with gh auth status when the active account or authentication could affect the result. Inspect the current repository, state, and remote data before making a GitHub mutation; obtain any authorization that the requested mutation requires.

Common commands

# Search
gh search repos "query" --sort stars --limit 10
gh search code "query" --language python

# Repository
gh repo view owner/repo
gh repo clone owner/repo
gh repo create my-repo --private
gh repo fork owner/repo
gh repo sync owner/repo

# Issues and pull requests
gh issue list --repo owner/repo --state open
gh issue view 123 --repo owner/repo
gh issue create --repo owner/repo --title "Title" --body "Body"
gh pr list --repo owner/repo --state open
gh pr view 123 --repo owner/repo
gh pr create --repo owner/repo --title "Title" --body "Body"
gh pr checks 123 --repo owner/repo

# Actions and Releases
gh workflow list --repo owner/repo
gh run list --repo owner/repo --limit 10
gh run view <run-id> --repo owner/repo --log-failed
gh release list --repo owner/repo

# API and structured output
gh api repos/owner/repo
gh issue list --repo owner/repo --json number,title --jq '.[] | "\(.number): \(.title)"'

Use gh <command> --help when the exact command shape is uncertain. For local Git work, use git; use gh for the GitHub service operation around it.
