okay so bestie, this is the gh-extension-browse page from the GitHub CLI manual, and it's honestly kind of iconic β let's get into it β¨
πΈ NAME πΈ
gh-extension-browse β the command that opens up a whole UI for browsing, adding, and removing extensions. literally a whole vibe, no cap π
π SYNOPSIS π
gh extension browse [flags]
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
okay so picture this: this command takes over your entire terminal π and runs a fully interactive interface for browsing, adding, and removing gh extensions. like, it's not subtle about it β your terminal is hers now, she's the main character π
one thing though β a terminal width greater than 100 columns is recommended, so maybe stretch that window out first π«Ά
wanna learn how to actually control this interface? press ? after running it and the help text will show up, iykyk π
and to dip out? press q to quit. that's it. simple. slay.
if you run this command with --single-column, it should make things way more intelligible for users who rely on assistive technology like screen readers or high zoom β highly recommend if that's you, fr fr π
and for a more traditional way to discover extensions, go peep:
gh ext search
along with gh ext install, gh ext remove, and gh repo view. those are the classics π
π OPTIONS π
--debugβ logs to/tmp/extBrowse-*so you can go look at what happened later π΅οΈββοΈ-s,--single-columnβ renders the TUI with only one column of text. accessibility icon behavior, we love to see it π
β EXIT CODES β
0: successful execution β we ate and left no crumbs π1: error β it's giving oops π2: command canceled β you changed your mind, valid π4: authentication required β you gotta log in first bestie π
NOTE: specific commands may have additional exit codes. refer to the command's help for more information, ok? don't come for me if there's more π
