GH-EXTENSION-EXEC(1)

✨ NAME ✨

Okay so bestie, welcome to the GH-EXTENSION-EXEC(1) page from the GitHub CLI manual 💖 — this is literally all about gh-extension-exec, aka Execute an installed extension. Periodt.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

gh extension exec <name> [args] [flags]

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So you wanna run an extension using its short name? Say less 💅. If the extension repo is owner/gh-extension, then you should pass extension. Iconic. You can use this command when the short name conflicts with a core gh command — no cap, that's the whole vibe check 🦋.

All arguments after the extension name get forwarded straight to the executable of the extension. The way that forwarding works is honestly giving main character energy ✨.
