gh is GitHub on the command line. It brings pull requests, issues, and other GitHub concepts to the terminal next to where you are already working with git and your code.

• gh pr [status, list, view, checkout, create]
• gh issue [status, list, view, create]
• gh help

Check out the [docs][] for more information.

For many years, [hub][] was the unofficial GitHub CLI tool. gh is a new project for us to explore what an official GitHub CLI tool can look like with a fundamentally different design. While both tools bring GitHub to the terminal, hub behaves as a proxy to git and gh is a standalone tool.
