GitHub CLI For Mac

Most development work is done from the command-line, but GitHub operations like managing issues and pull requests require users to switch to a web browser. If most of your work is done via terminal, the resulting context switching is bad for both your focus and productivity.

GitHub CLI has finally come out of beta and can change all that. It allows you to complete all GitHub-related tasks via a command-line interface, from creating repos, to resolving issues, managing pull requests, and publishing releases. What's more, you can use the GitHub API to automate a wide range of actions.

This tool is designed to bring all GitHub operations to the terminal, where developers already work with Git and their code. Now, your entire project can be managed from the command-line, without having to switch to a web browser for certain tasks.

You can create gists, manage issues and pull requests, manage repositories, and publish releases. The utility also offers full access to the GitHub API, making it possible to create scripts for pretty much any action.

Using GitHub from the command-line has many upsides, but possibly the greatest is that you won't have to switch to a different window and add unnecessary complexity to your workflow when you would prefer to just do everything from your terminal.

Aliases allow you to define shortcuts for complex commands you use on a regular basis, effectively creating your own language that makes common operations about as simple as you can expect.

GitHub CLI was created for developers and is being actively improved based on their suggestions. New features will be added as users gain more experience with the tool, and you can take advantage of aliases and the GitHub API to customize and automate commands based on your preferences.
