GitHub CLI 1.0 enables a full repo workflow from the terminal

GitHub CLI, a tool for bringing full repo functionality to your terminal, has reached its first stable version after a very successful beta.



“Developers spend a lot of time in their terminals, and our CLI helps to mitigate the frequent context switching between your terminal and GitHub.com,” says Amanda Pinsker, Product Designer at GitHub.

“Command-line tools enable developers to script nearly any action and automate their workflows, which in turn allows developers to work faster and more productively.”

The initial beta of CLI was announced in February. GitHub says that users have created nearly 200,000 pull requests, performed over 350,000 merges, and created over 20,000 issues using the beta.

After such an impressive beta run, GitHub has decided today to release v1.0 of CLI.

Using GitHub CLI for your workflow

Start by cloning the repo you want to work with using `gh repo clone owner/repo`

Use `gh issue status` or `gh issue list –assignee billygriffin` to find the next thing you want to work on.

When you’re done with adding that feature or squashing that bug, you can use `gh pr create` to create your pull request on GitHub.

A teammate can review your pull request using `gh pr checkout 1337`, compare the differences with `gh pr diff`, and even provide a lightweight review using `gh pr review`.

Once the pull request is approved, you can ensure all your tests are passing with `gh pr checks`. If everything checks out, you can merge it right from your terminal with `gh pr merge`. GitHub CLI helps streamline the process further by offering to delete your branch locally and on GitHub.com post-merge.

When you’re ready to cut your next release, just use `gh release create [tag name]` and your creation will be published.

Practice what you preach

GitHub CLI itself is, naturally, open-source. The company says it’s had more than 100 community contributors who’ve helped to achieve CLI’s first stable release.

Some of the community contributions:

  • Adding metadata to issue and pull request views (via @doi-t!)
  • Allowing selection of blank templates (via @AliabbasMerchant!)
  • Filtering issues by milestone, mentioned, and author (via @eddumelendez!)
  • Aligning repo create to other create commands (via @ShubhankarKG!)

Based on feedback throughout GitHub CLI’s beta, the following features were added:

  • create and view repositories
  • configure GitHub CLI to use SSH and your preferred editor
  • close, reopen, and add labels, assignees, and more to issues and pull requests, and
  • view the diff, review, and merge pull requests

GitHub isn’t resting on its laurels with this release and has more features planned for the future.

Making open source JavaScript pay

Image
Money isn’t everything to the success of the most popular JavaScript frameworks. Or is it? Looking at the  2019 State of JavaScript report , something stands out: Money apparently can’t buy everything. Or, at least, not every major front-end and back-end programming framework is sponsored by a big company. Sure, we have Google to thank for  Angular , and Facebook gets credit for  React , but what about  Vue.js ? Or Gatsby? Or Next.js? While these (and other) open source projects do seem to suggest a future without Big Corps shoveling Big Money into open source, the reality is a bit more nuanced. For the developers looking to pay their way through open source, however, reality isn’t nuanced at all. For every Vue.js founder  Evan You making $16,000 per month with Patreon contributions , there are thousands of developers struggling to scrape together $16 for the important open source work they’re doing.

What Is Brutalism in Web Design?

Image
3   min read   Brutalism is a special breed of web design, working well for quirky, creative brands and individuals. However, this rule-bending design technique must be employed with care. Read this guide to find out how. Brutalism is one of those trends that seems to come and go in web design. It’s not because there isn’t much value in brutalist design. It’s more that it doesn’t always fit with the style and tone of the times.  That’s part of what makes brutalism so intriguing though. When most websites tend to fall in line and adopt the same basic trends from year to year, a website that doesn’t play by the rules can easily steal the spotlight.  You just need to know whether that’s the right kind of light you want to shine on the brand. Brutalism can sometimes come off as cold and somber. If it’s not properly executed or not used for the right kind of brand, it can send the wrong signals to website visitors.  In this guide to brutalism in web design, we’l...

How artificial intelligence is making the education system more relevant?

Image
Digital learning solutions equipped with artificial intelligence are making revolutionary changes to the way education is imparted in students with varied interests and capabilities. When we think of artificial intelligence, there is a hardwired imagery of gigantic thinking machines working in sci-fi environment. This imagery often comes from the science fiction that we have been watching or reading since childhood. However, deep diving suggests that artificial intelligence is an advanced form of algorithm that empowers machines to emulate human behavior under real life situations. Today, there is no industry untouched by the ripples caused by artificial intelligence. Education sets the foundation of human behavior. Educational ecosystem is formed by knowledge base, teaching skills and experience, learning capability, and evolving teaching methods. Digital learning solutions equipped with artificial intelligence are making revolutionary changes to the way educat...
