GitHub CLI

Overview

GitHub CLI (gh) is the official command-line interface for GitHub. It allows you to interact with GitHub repositories, issues, pull requests, releases, and Actions workflows directly from the terminal without opening a browser.

For Continuous Delphi maintainers, GitHub CLI is used for creating releases, managing pull requests, and triggering or inspecting CI workflow runs. It is not required for day-to-day development but becomes useful once you are publishing releases or working with CI pipelines.
