GitHub CLI: Stop Context-Switching Between Terminal and Browser

Create PRs, manage issues, and handle auth without leaving your shell. Built by GitHub, used daily by developers who can't afford the friction.

cli/cli ↗

GitHub CLI (gh) lets you do almost everything you'd do on github.com—create pull requests, review code, manage issues—straight from your terminal. No browser tab-switching, no re-authenticating, no clicking through the UI. You write gh pr create, answer a few prompts, and your PR is live. For teams in heavy Git workflows (CI/CD, local development, automation), this cuts real minutes off repetitive tasks. The auth piece matters too: one login (gh auth login), then every subsequent command just works. Not revolutionary, but if you're already living in the terminal, this eliminates a genuine friction point.

I stopped opening GitHub in the browser six months ago. cli/cli does everything I need from the command line—create PRs, manage issues, check CI status, handle auth—without leaving my terminal. GitHub's official tool, 57k stars, and it cuts real friction out of daily workflows. If you're still web-clicking your way through GitHub, you're leaving time on the table.

github cli just crossed 57k stars and honestly it's the fastest way to manage PRs without touching a browser. one command: `gh pr create`. that's it. your git workflow stays local, your hands stay on the keyboard. no auth headaches, no context switching.
