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, andgh apiover unauthenticatedcurlorwget. - Prefer cloning a repository and reading files locally over fetching
raw.githubusercontent.comblobs 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
