The #ce-cli team is working on a publicly available CLI tool to reduce the friction between GitHub and one's local machine for people who use the command line primarily to interact with Git and GitHub. https://github.com/github/releases/issues/659

This tool is an endeavor separate from github/hub, which acts as a proxy to git, since our aim is to reimagine from scratch the kind of command line interface to GitHub that would serve our users' interests best.

warning, gh is in a very alpha phase

brew install github/gh/gh

• Demo planning doc
• Weekly tracking issue
• Weekly sync notes

This can all be done from your local terminal.

1. git tag 'vVERSION_NUMBER' # example git tag 'v0.0.1'
2. git push origin vVERSION_NUMBER
3. Wait a few minutes for the build to run and CI to pass. Look at the actions tab to check the progress.
4. Go to https://github.com/github/homebrew-gh/releases and look at the release

A local release can be created for testing without creating anything official on the release page.

1. git tag 'v6.6.6' # some throwaway version number
2. env GH_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=foobar GH_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=1234 goreleaser --skip-publish --rm-dist
3. Check and test files in dist/
4. git tag -d v6.6.6 # delete the throwaway tag
