You can automate GitHub tasks with the gh CLI, which translates natural language requests into precise commands for managing PRs, issues, workflows, and repositories without navigating the web interface. Install gh, authenticate, and describe what you want to do—the skill maps your intent to the appropriate subcommand and flags.

Yes, the gh CLI lets you create, view, list, and check the status of pull requests directly from the terminal. Use natural language like 'Create a pull request from feature/login to main' and the skill translates it into the correct gh command with recommended flags.

You can list and view workflow runs, trigger workflows, and create or view releases through the gh CLI. The skill handles the mapping from natural language requests to gh subcommands like workflow run, run list, and release create for full release and automation pipeline control.

Yes, the gh CLI must be installed and authenticated to your GitHub account. The skill requires this setup as a prerequisite and handles command translation once gh is ready; without authentication, commands cannot execute against your repositories.

Yes, you can view and edit repository settings and manage branches through gh CLI commands. The skill covers repo administration tasks like repo view, repo edit, and branch management, letting you handle repository configuration without the web interface.

The gh CLI is GitHub-specific and interacts with GitHub's API for higher-level operations like managing PRs, issues, and workflows, while git commands work with your local repository and version control. The skill uses gh to handle GitHub-platform features that git alone cannot address.
