This Week in Programming: GitHub Goes to the Command LineCategory: github, automation
Are y’all ready to party like it’s 1999? Cuz if so, get ready, because we have a brand new command-line interface (CLI) ready for you from GitHub, and maybe, if you’re lucky, you can figure out a way to stylize it with some ANSI colors.
Snark aside, folks are atwitter this week over the availability of GitHub CLI 1.0, following up on the beta from earlier this year, partly because now you don’t need to leave the terminal, and partly because of the automation it enables. The GitHub CLI is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux and allows you to run your entire GitHub workflow straight from the terminal, from issue to release, and a common criticism out there of the new CLI is that it might further confuse young, impressionable coders about the difference between git and GitHub.
GitHub CLI is here to help you stay in terminal, just like it’s 1999.
