gh auth status

bash

gh repo view --json nameWithOwner,url,defaultBranchRef

Core workflows#

bash

gh repo create OWNER/NAME --private --confirm --description "..."

If running inside a local repo, use --source . --remote origin --push.

Clone / fork#

bash

gh repo clone OWNER/NAME

bash

gh repo fork OWNER/NAME --clone

Issues#

Safety notes#

• Confirm the target repo/owner before destructive actions (delete, force push).
• For private repos, ensure --private is set on create.
• Prefer --confirm to avoid interactive prompts in automation.
