GH-CONFIG-GET(1)

💅 GH-CONFIG-GET(1) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the GitHub CLI manual — specifically the page for gh-config-get, which is genuinely one of the most useful little gremlins in the whole toolkit. no cap. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

gh-config-get — literally just prints the value of a configuration key you ask for. that's it. that's the whole job. and she does it flawlessly 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gh config get <key> [flags]

so you hand her a key, she hands you back the value. transactional. iconic. main character energy fr fr ✨

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -h, --host <string> — grab the per-host setting instead of the global one. it's giving "different vibes for different hosts" and honestly? slay. takes a string for the host name 💖

---

🦋 EXIT CODES 🦋

this is the vibe check at the end of the run, okay? here's how she tells you how it went:

• 0 — Successful execution 🌈 (ate, no notes)
• 1 — Error 😭 (something went sideways)
• 2 — Command canceled 🙈 (you hit the brakes)
• 4 — Authentication required 🔥 (she needs your creds, bestie)

NOTE: Specific commands may have additional exit codes. Refer to the command's help for more information. so like, don't come for me if a different command has extra ones — check its help 👑 (copying this caveat verbatim because it's literally true and not something to play with)

---

⭐ EXAMPLE ⭐

$ gh config get git_protocol

that's it. that's the whole demo. run it and you'll see whatever your git_protocol is set to. obsessed 🍓
