FAQPage Schema
How do I create and manage pull requests from the command line?▼

GitHub CLI lets you create, view, and merge pull requests directly from your terminal without switching to the browser. Use `gh pr create` to open a PR from your current branch, `gh pr view` to inspect details, and `gh pr merge` to finalize changes with customizable merge strategies.

Can I automate GitHub workflows and API calls with the CLI?▼

Yes. GitHub CLI provides access to REST and GraphQL APIs with built-in authentication, enabling you to script complex workflows—like auto-assigning reviewers, checking CI status, or bulk-managing issues—without manual intervention or separate API client setup.

What's the fastest way to manage issues and labels from my terminal?▼

GitHub CLI streamlines issue tracking by letting you list, create, close, and label issues directly in your shell. Commands like `gh issue create`, `gh issue list --label`, and `gh issue comment` eliminate context-switching and keep your workflow uninterrupted.

Do I need to authenticate separately to use GitHub CLI for API access?▼

No. GitHub CLI handles authentication automatically after initial setup with `gh auth login`. Once configured, all subsequent commands—including REST and GraphQL API calls—inherit your credentials without requiring additional tokens or configuration per command.

How do I integrate GitHub CLI with shell scripts for CI/CD automation?▼

GitHub CLI commands are designed for scripting and integrate seamlessly into bash or shell automation. Combine commands like `gh pr list`, `gh run list`, and `gh workflow run` with standard shell utilities to build custom CI/CD pipelines and trigger actions programmatically.
