## About {% data variables.product.prodname_cli %}
|
|
|
|
{% data reusables.cli.about-cli %}
|
|
|
|
## Getting started
|
|
|
|
1. [Install](https://github.com/cli/cli#installation) {% data variables.product.prodname_cli %} on macOS, Windows, or Linux.
|
|
1. In the command line, authenticate to {% data variables.product.company_short %}.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
gh auth login
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{% ifversion not fpt or ghec %}
|
|
To authenticate to {% data variables.location.product_location %}, use the `--hostname` flag.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
gh auth login --hostname HOSTNAME
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
1. Start working with {% data variables.product.company_short %} in the command line. For example, find an issue to work on with `gh issue status` or `gh issue list --assignee @me`. Create a pull request with `gh pr create`. Review a pull request with `gh pr checkout`, `gh pr diff` and `gh pr review`.
|
|
|
|
## Next steps
|
|
|
|
- Tell {% data variables.product.prodname_cli %} which text editor to use for commands that open a text editor. For example, enter `gh config set editor "code -w"` to set your preferred text editor to {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %}. For more information, see [`gh config set`](https://cli.github.com/manual/gh_config_set).
|
|
|
|
- Define aliases for commands that you commonly run. For example, if you run `gh alias set prd "pr create --draft"`, you will then be able to run `gh prd` to quickly open a draft pull request. For more information, see [`gh alias`](https://cli.github.com/manual/gh_alias).
|
|
