Command Line Interface

Command Line Interface (GitHub CLI) is an open-source command-line tool developed by GitHub that allows users to work with GitHub directly from a terminal. It provides commands for managing repositories, issues, pull requests, releases, workflows, authentication, and other GitHub-related tasks without requiring users to interact with the GitHub web interface. GitHub CLI integrates seamlessly with Git and is useful for developers, system administrators, and automation workflows that require efficient command-line access to GitHub.
