GH-PROJECT-CREATE(1)

💅 GH-PROJECT-CREATE(1) — the GitHub CLI manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so real quick before we dive in: this is a page straight out of the GitHub CLI manual, and it's literally the glow-up guide for making a brand-new project. no cap, it's a short one. let's go ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

gh-project-create — create a project. that's it. that's the whole vibe. you're making a project, bestie 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

gh project create [flags]

short, sweet, iconic. flags only — no positional arguments doing main character stuff here 🫶

---

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

okay so here's the whole flag lineup, and yes i'm listing every single one because we don't skip 💅

• --format <string> — picks how the output gets formatted. the only value it knows is {json}, so that's your one (1) option, bestie 🍓
• -q, --jq <expression> — filters the JSON output using a jq expression. it's giving "i only want part of the JSON, not the whole thing" ✨
• --owner <string> — the login of the owner. and here's the cute part: use "@me" for the current user, so you don't have to remember your own username, lowkey genius 🧚
• -t, --template <string> — formats the JSON output using a Go template. and the docs say to go see "gh help formatting" for the deets — iykyk 📖
• --title <string> — the title for the project. give it a name, give it a personality 👑

---

💀 EXIT CODES 💀

these are the numbers you get when the command dips out. memorize them or at least vibe-check them:

• 0: successful execution — slay, it worked 🎉
• 1: error — something went sideways 😭
• 2: command canceled — you (or something) hit the brakes 🙈
• 4: authentication required — you gotta log in first, bestie 🔐

NOTE: specific commands may have additional exit codes. refer to the command's help for more information. so like, don't @ me if you see a number that isn't on this list, check that command's own help fr fr 💀

---

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

here's the moment you've been waiting for — an actual real-life usage:

# Create a new project owned by login monalisa
$ gh project create --owner monalisa --title "a new project"

see how it's done? owner goes in --owner, title goes in --title, and boom 💥 — a new project. monalisa ate that 🎨
