πŸ¦‹ GH-EXTENSION-BROWSE(1) πŸ¦‹

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 ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

gh-extension-browse β€” the command that opens up a whole UI for browsing, adding, and removing extensions. literally a whole vibe, no cap πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

gh extension browse [flags]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so picture this: this command takes over your entire terminal 😭 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 πŸ‘‘

one thing though β€” a terminal width greater than 100 columns is recommended, so maybe stretch that window out first 🫢

wanna learn how to actually control this interface? press ? after running it and the help text will show up, iykyk 🌈

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 πŸ’–

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 πŸŽ€


πŸ’… OPTIONS πŸ’…

  • --debug β€” logs to /tmp/extBrowse-* so you can go look at what happened later πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™€οΈ
  • -s, --single-column β€” renders the TUI with only one column of text. accessibility icon behavior, we love to see it πŸ’œ

⭐ EXIT CODES ⭐

  • 0: successful execution β€” we ate and left no crumbs 😌
  • 1: error β€” it's giving oops πŸ™ˆ
  • 2: command canceled β€” you changed your mind, valid πŸ’…
  • 4: authentication required β€” you gotta log in first bestie πŸ”‘
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 πŸ‘€
