What This Skill Does
Runs authenticated GitHub operations from the terminal using the gh CLI. Covers repo creation, cloning, forking, issue management, pull requests, and releases. Prefers explicit, idempotent commands and returns URLs for created resources.
Keeps the full GitHub workflow in the terminal, eliminating browser context switches when managing repos, issues, and PRs alongside code.
When to use it
- Create a private GitHub repo from a local project directory
- File and comment on issues without switching to the browser
- Open a pull request from the current branch
- Fork a repo and clone it locally for upstream contribution
- Publish a versioned release with notes
