Summary

GitHub offers various tools and integrations to enhance developers' workflows, including the GitHub CLI, which allows users to perform their entire GitHub workflow directly from the terminal, minimizing context switching. By using GitHub CLI, developers can create and clone repositories, manage issues and pull requests, create and view releases, and monitor GitHub Actions workflows, all from the command line. It supports Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems, and users can authenticate with GitHub to begin using commands such as `gh repo create`, `gh issue list`, and `gh pr list`. The CLI is open source, allowing developers to extend its functionality with community-created extensions. This approach allows developers to streamline their processes, spend more time coding, and reduce the need to switch between different platforms, ultimately improving development speed and efficiency.
