GitHub CLI v2.98.0

Security

A security vulnerability has been identified, and fixed, that binds the local forwarded port to all available network interfaces by default.

Users of gh codespace ports forward are advised to update gh to version v2.98.0 as soon as possible.

For more information see: https://github.com/cli/cli/security/advisories/GHSA-vfhh-p7hm-pxfh

Support worktrees in pr checkout

Users can now checkout a pull request into a git worktree by using the new --worktree PATH flag in gh pr checkout:

gh pr checkout 12 --worktree ../wt-feature

Add semantic search to search issues

The gh search issues command now supports semantic search for issues. Users can select the search type by passing the --search-type flag:

gh search issues --search-type semantic ...

gh search issues --search-type hybrid ...

For more information about semantic search see: "Improved Search for github issues is now generally available".
