gh-cli

# 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`, `WebFetch`, or an MCP fetch tool 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: ```sh gh repo view owner/repo gh pr view 123 --repo owner/repo gh api repos/owner/repo/pulls ``` For the hook implementation, see: - `plugins/gh-cli/README.md` - `plugins/gh-cli/hooks/`
