This is worth it just for `gh repo create`

I'd been using `hub create` for several years now...

I'll admit that the only time I heard of the GitHub CLI was last week when I thought to myself "it's really annoying going to the website every time I just want to push a new repo"

Martin from GitHub here - love to understand what happened if you have the time to point me at more details. DM's open (martinwoodward on twitter and martinwoodward at github.com on email)

This is part of the problem. No recourse for such decisions unless you make a stink about it on an orange website or get enough likes on the website with the blue bird logo.

Do you know whether the poster with a GitHub issue ever bothered reaching out to Enterprise support?

Probably wasn't a decision. And if it was, I'm sure it's much more complicated than OP is letting on.

Is this coming full circle: Git -> GitHub -> GitHub CLI?

I guess GitHub CLI is kind of porcelain for the `git format-patch` and `git am`. Although I don’t know of any git commands that will send or fetch the `.patch` files to the mailbox.

I don't understand the appeal of using a cli to manage commits, branches, remotes, merges with conflicts, and so on. To me all these things are so much better internalized and understood when presented visually. Git GUIs are aplenty (Sublime Merge being my latest discovery, SourceTree before that) and generally really good. Combined with the already amazing GitHub web GUI, it's a wonder what use case is better served…

It has nothing to do with being a cool kid. No two people are the same. How you best process information may not be how someone else best processes information. Neither is right or wrong they are just different Everyone deserves to have tools available which fit how their brain best processes information.

VS Code does everything Sublime Merge does, for free

What about https://hub.github.com/ ?

IME for non-git features hub is very slow iirc it's written in Ruby

hub has been pure Go for a long time now.

GitHub is killing it with these features. I wonder how long Azure Repos will survive on it's own.

Never heard of Azure Repos before. Do they have any unique features that could be merged into Github?

When reviewing PR, it has nice file/folder tree on left side, which is far superior compared to scrolling over 10+ files without context on Github, I hope Github gets this soon...

There's a browser plugin called Octotree which does a pretty good job of this, but I'd prefer it to be builtin.
