GitHub CLI is now in beta

GitHub CLI, now in beta, is a command line tool that enables you to work more seamlessly with your GitHub repositories right from your command line.

You can:

  • Create pull requests fully within your terminal or preview them on the web before submitting
  • Filter lists of a repository’s pull requests and issues to give you the information you need
  • View a snapshot of a repository’s pull requests and issues that are most relevant to you
  • Easily checkout pull request branches locally with one command
  • Quickly view issues and pull requests in the browser

We plan to add much more functionality and we’re eager to hear your feedback.
