gh-cli

When to Use

  • Working with GitHub repositories, pull requests, issues, releases, or raw file URLs.
  • You need authenticated access to private repositories or higher API rate limits.
  • You are about to use curl, wget, or unauthenticated web fetches against GitHub.

When NOT to Use

  • The target is not GitHub.
  • Plain local git operations already solve the task.

Guidance

Prefer the authenticated gh CLI over raw HTTP fetches for GitHub content. In particular:

  • Prefer gh repo view, gh pr view, gh pr list, gh issue view, and gh api over unauthenticated curl or wget.
  • Prefer cloning a repository and reading files locally over fetching raw.githubusercontent.com blobs directly.
  • Avoid using GitHub API /contents/ endpoints as a substitute for cloning and reading repository files.

Examples:

gh repo view owner/repo
gh pr view 123 --repo owner/repo
gh api repos/owner/repo/pulls
