GitHub CLI now supports autofilling pull requests and custom configuration

GitHub CLI 0.7 is out with several of the most highly requested enhancements from the feedback our beta users have provided. Since the last minor release, 0.6, there are three main features:

  • Configure gh to use your preferred editor with gh config set editor [editor].
  • Configure gh to default to SSH with gh config set git_protocol ssh. The default Git protocol is HTTPS.
  • Autofill the title and body of a pull request from your commits with gh pr create --fill.
