GitHub CLI, known as gh, is the official command line tool from GitHub. It brings the parts of GitHub you use every day into Terminal, so pull requests, issues and releases can be handled with short commands beside your code. Developers who script their workflow or simply type faster than they click will appreciate how much context switching it removes.

Key Features

• Create, view, review and merge pull requests without leaving your terminal window
• Open, search and manage issues alongside the code they describe
• Clone, fork and create repositories with short and memorable commands
• Download release assets and publish releases as part of your build routine
• Sign in securely with your GitHub account and script repeat tasks with confidence

How to Download

1. Visit the project page to read the install guidance for macOS before you begin.
2. Download from the official site and choose the Mac package or package manager route offered.
3. Install the tool, run the sign in command in Terminal and confirm your account is connected.

System Requirements

GitHub CLI runs on macOS on both Intel Macs and Macs with Apple silicon. You need a GitHub account for most commands, and having Git itself installed makes repository work smoother.

FAQs

Is GitHub CLI an official GitHub tool?

Yes. GitHub develops and maintains it, and new features are published through the project releases on GitHub itself.

Do I still need Git installed?

For most repository work yes, because gh works alongside Git rather than replacing it. The two tools are designed to complement each other.

Can I use it in scripts?

Yes. Its commands return clear output and support structured formats, which makes gh popular inside build scripts and routine automation.
