GitHub CLI

Security

Four security vulnerabilities have been identified, and fixed, in this release. Users are advised to update gh to version v2.97.0 as soon as possible.

Several commands (including gh gist view, gh api, gh pr diff, gh release download --output -, gh codespace logs, gh skills preview, and gh agent-task view/create) printed externally controlled content without neutralizing terminal escape sequences, allowing escape sequence injection into a user's terminal.

See https://github.com/cli/cli/security/advisories/GHSA-3m3g-3wcr-px46 for more information.

Some request URLs were built without escaping their variable path components, so a value containing URL path metacharacters could alter the request path and cause gh to address a different resource than intended.

See https://github.com/cli/cli/security/advisories/GHSA-4fjg-2h4q-fwg3 for more information.

gh auth status (without --show-token) could print a portion of the authentication token in plaintext for token types whose format contains an underscore after the prefix, such as github_pat_*, ghs_*, and ghu_*.

See https://github.com/cli/cli/security/advisories/GHSA-cg6r-mpgc-h9mm for more information.

gh attestation verify built the certificate matcher from --signer-repo and --signer-workflow without escaping regex metacharacters, so a lookalike repository or workflow name could satisfy a matcher intended for a trusted signer and bypass attestation verification.

See https://github.com/cli/cli/security/advisories/GHSA-mm27-mwq9-fr5g for more information.

Address project fields and items by name in gh project

gh project item-edit and gh project item-list can now reference project fields and single-select options by name:

# Set an item's field by name
gh project item-edit 1 --owner monalisa --url <url> --field "Status" --value "In Progress"

# Show named fields as extra columns
gh project item-list 1 --owner "@me" --field "Status" --field "Priority"

Security

A security vulnerability has been identified, and fixed, that could allow command execution on a user's computer when connecting to a malicious Codespace via gh codespace jupyter.

Users of gh codespace jupyter are advised to update gh to version v2.96.0 as soon as possible.

For more information see: https://github.com/cli/cli/security/advisories/GHSA-8cg3-r6g9-fpg2

Download release assets without authentication

Read repository files and directories with gh repo read-file and gh repo read-dir

Two new preview commands read repository contents without cloning:

# Read a single file to stdout
gh repo read-file README.md --repo cli/cli

# Read from a specific branch, tag, or commit
gh repo read-file go.mod --ref v2.94.0 --repo cli/cli

# Write a file to disk (use --clobber to overwrite)
gh repo read-file README.md --output ./README.md --repo cli/cli

# List the entries in a directory
gh repo read-dir script --repo cli/cli

Both commands default to the repository's default branch, accept --ref to target any branch, tag, or commit, and support --json, --jq, and --template for scripting. This makes it easy for agents and automation to inspect a repo without a full checkout.

[!NOTE] gh repo read-file and gh repo read-dir are in preview and subject to change without notice.

Issue types, sub-issues, and relationships in gh issue

This release brings GitHub's advanced issue features to gh issue create, edit, view, and list. You can set and view an issue's type, organize work with sub-issues, and track blocked-by and blocking relationships without leaving the command line:

# Set an issue's type
gh issue create --type Bug
gh issue edit 123 --type Bug

# Organize work with sub-issues
gh issue create --parent 100
gh issue edit 100 --add-sub-issue 123

# Track blocked-by and blocking relationships
gh issue create --blocked-by 200
gh issue edit 123 --add-blocking 300

Issue types and sub-issues are available on GitHub.com and GHES 3.17+; relationships require GHES 3.19+.

Manage discussions with gh discussion

This release introduces the discussion command set for working with GitHub Discussions in gh:

# List discussions
gh discussion list

# View a discussion, its comments, or replies to a comment
gh discussion view 123 --comments

# Create a discussion
gh discussion create

# Edit a discussion
gh discussion edit 123

# Comment on a discussion
gh discussion comment 123

# Reply to a comment using its URL
gh discussion comment <url>

Run gh discussion --help for more information.

[!NOTE] The discussion command set is in preview and is subject to change without notice.

Security

A security vulnerability has been identified, and fixed, that could allow terminal escape sequence injection when users view GitHub Actions workflow logs using gh run view --log or gh run view --log-failed.

Users are advised to update gh to version v2.92.0 as soon as possible.

For more information see: https://github.com/cli/cli/security/advisories/GHSA-crc3-h8v6-qh57

Support GitHub Enterprise Cloud (GHEC) in skill commandset

Now gh skill subcommands (install, preview, publish, search, update) are able to work with GHEC hosts with data residency.

Add --allow-hidden-dirs flag to skill preview

Following the addition of --allow-hidden-dirs to skill install in the previous release, now the flag is also supported in skill preview, allowing users to preview skills located in hidden (dot-prefixed) directories such as .claude/skills/, .agents/skills/, and .github/skills/.

GitHub CLI now collects pseudonymous telemetry

To better understand how features are used in practice, especially as agentic adoption grows, GitHub CLI now sends pseudonymous telemetry.

See Telemetry for more details on what's collected, why, and how to opt out.

Support more agents in gh skill

Thanks to community feedback, gh now supports a large number of agent hosts. Run gh skill install --help for the list of available agents.

Improve skill discovery

gh skill install now adds the --allow-hidden-dirs flag to support discovering skills in hidden (dot-prefixed) directories such as .claude/skills/, .agents/skills/, and .github/skills/.

Detect skills re-published from other sources

GitHub CLI now detects if the skill to be installed is re-published from an upstream source and offers the option to install it from there. The --upstream flag is also added for non-interactive use cases.

Manage agent skills with gh skill (Public Preview)

Agent skills are portable sets of instructions, scripts, and resources that teach AI coding agents how to perform specific tasks. The new gh skill command makes it easy to discover, install, manage, and publish agent skills from GitHub repositories - right from the CLI.

# Discover skills
gh skill search copilot

# Preview a skill without installing
gh skill preview github/awesome-copilot documentation-writer

# Install a skill
gh skill install github/awesome-copilot documentation-writer

# Pin to a specific version
gh skill install github/awesome-copilot documentation-writer --pin v1.2.0

# Check installed skills for updates
gh skill update --all

# Validate and publish your own skills
gh skill publish --dry-run

Skills are automatically installed to the correct directory for your agent host. gh skill supports GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, and Antigravity. Target a specific agent and scope with --agent and --scope flags.

gh skill publish validates skills against the Agent Skills specification and checks remote settings like tag protection and immutable releases to improve supply chain security.

Read the full announcement on the GitHub Blog.

gh skill is launching in public preview and is subject to change without notice.

Official extension suggestions

When you run a command that matches a known official extension that isn't installed (e.g. gh stack), the CLI now offers to install it instead of showing a generic "unknown command" error.

This feature is available for github/gh-aw and github/gh-stack.

When possible, you'll be prompted to install immediately. When prompting isn't possible, the CLI prints the gh extension install command to run.

gh extension install no longer requires authentication

gh extension install previously required a valid auth token even though it only needs to download a public release asset. The auth check has been removed, so you can install extensions without being logged in.

:copilot: gh agent-task now works on ghe.com tenancies

gh agent-task commands previously failed with 401 Unauthorized for users on ghe.com tenancy hosts because the Copilot API URL was hardcoded. The URL is now resolved dynamically per host, so gh agent-task works correctly regardless of your GitHub hosting environment.

Experimental new prompter

A new TUI-based prompter powered by charmbracelet/huh is available behind the GH_EXPERIMENTAL_PROMPTER environment variable. This is an early preview — try it out and share feedback!

export GH_EXPERIMENTAL_PROMPTER=1

gh issue create and gh issue transfer no longer require extra token scopes

gh issue create and gh issue transfer previously fetched repository fields they didn't need, which could require additional token scopes. These commands now fetch only the minimal fields necessary for issue operations.

What's Changed

Fix pr commands failing with read:project scope error

v2.88.0 introduced a regression where pr commands would fail with the error:

error: your authentication token is missing required scopes [read:project]
To request it, run:  gh auth refresh -s read:project

Previously, missing read:project scope was gracefully handled, and project data was silently skipped. A change inadvertently broke the error matching that enabled this graceful degradation. v2.88.1 reverts these changes so that pr commands work correctly without requiring the read:project scope.
