Demonstration

Terminal Demo

Supported Node Versions:

We support the node versions that the Node.js organization supports which as of now is Node v6 & up.

LTS Schedule

Authentication

Under the hood, we are using @octokit/rest to work with the GitHub API The method of authentication that we use with octokit, is a personal access token You have two options here: 1. Run gh which will start the authentication process & generate the token for you automatically - Though they are hidden, the downside of this is having to type your user & pass - Supports 2fa 2. Manually generate your personal token & add it to your ~/.gh.json

Available commands

gh help

List all comands options.

gh help --all

List specific command options.

gh help <command>

Global flags

Option Usage Type
--verbose Optional Boolean
--insane Optional Boolean
--no-color Optional Boolean
--no-hooks Optional Boolean

The verbose flag is useful for debugging issues. The insane flag is a more complete verbose flag, which leaks more privacy sensitive data by default.

  • user is owner of the repository, it is the authenticated user by default.
  • remote is the name of the remote configuration in a git directory, i.e. origin, upstream.
  • Therefore, it only makes sense when this command is run in a git directory.
  • To turn off pretty printing of output in a table add "pretty_print": false to your ~/.gh-json config
  • To adjust pagination rules

Config

There are some pretty useful configurations that you can set on .gh.json. This file can be found under home directory (on MacOSx: /Users/yourName/.gh.json on Windows: C:\\Users\yourName\.gh.json).

You can also set per-project configurations by adding a .gh.json file in your project's root folder and overriding existing keys.

GitHub API configurations.

Change it if you're a GitHub Enterprise user.

"api": {
    "host": "github.mydomain.com",
    "protocol": "https"
}

Set Pagination Rules

  • For list based commands (like listing prs, issues, or repos) we default to 30
  • That means if you ran gh pr you would see a max of 30 pull requests
  • If you would like to see more, we will prompt you in your terminal to see the next batch
  • You can set your page size up from 1 to 100
"page_size": 77
  • If you want to remove the limit & set it to the maximum, use an empty string
"page_size": ""

Set default branch and remote.

"default_branch": "master",
"default_remote": "origin"

Set default users

For submitting or forwarding pull requests.

"default_pr_forwarder": "",
"default_pr_reviewer": ""

Update GitHub credentials manually

"github_token": "your_dev_token",
"github_user": "username"

Run automated tasks before or after a certain command.

"hooks": {
        "pull-request": {
            "merge": {
                "before": [{"cmd": "ls -la", "log": true}],
                "after": [
                    "gh pr {{options.number}} --comment 'Thank you, pull request merged :D'"
                ]
            }
        }
}

Run automated tasks passing arguments to the commands.

Required for prompt commands.

"hooks": {
        "pull-request": {
            "merge": {
                "before": [{"cmd": "foo", "args": ["bar", "qux"]}]
            }
        }
}

Set default branch name prefix for PR fetching.

"pull_branch_name_prefix": "pr-"

Set default editor to use when creating a new message

  • For certain tasks like opening a pull request when you omit the title or description, we will open a new file for you to create the message in.
  • We first check enviroment variables for the default editor: $EDITOR or $VISUAL and fallback to the default git editor git config --global core.editor
  • To disable this functionality of opening your editor add "use_editor": false to ~/.gh.json

Insert signature below issue comment.

"signature": "<br><br>:octocat: *Sent from [GH](http://nodegh.io).*"

Turn off ssh when pulling a repo and use https instead.

"ssh": false,
