What can GitHub CLI do?
Once you have it downloaded, open up your terminal and use the gh command:
The GitHub CLI beta currently allows you to do the following commands:
- Pull requests: Using the
prcommand to checkout, create, list, status and view - Issues: Using the
issuecommand to create, list, status and view - Help: Using
helpcommand to see how to use the tool
When you first use it you will need to authenticate the GitHub CLI. As you can see here I will be prompted to open GitHub in my browser:
After authenticating the GitHub CLI you will be able to continue with your last command:
I needed to change directories to where my repository was and then I was able to list out my pull requests using the following command:
gh pr list
For more details about what can be done, check out the GitHub CLI manual for lots of examples on using each of the commands.
Wrap up
This is an early look at what can be done with the GitHub CLI, and because it’s still in early development the team would love for you to give the tool a try and then provide them feedback.
Enjoy!

GitHub for Visual Studio now allows Pull Request Comments from IDE
GitHub for Visual Studio 2.3 was recently released and it brought new functionality that now allows you to add pull request comments directly from the IDE.
To get started you will need the latest version of GitHub Extension for Visual Studio. Next open up a pull request from the GitHub pane and while viewing a file you can click on the left gutter (see blue plus button) to add your feedback, all without leaving Visual Studio.
This functionality is still pretty limited but its a step in the right direction. I look forward to more GitHub online functionality making it’s way to this great extension.
Enjoy!
