GH-PROJECT-MARK-TEMPLATE(1)

💅 gh-project-mark-template — mark a project as a template ✨

okay so first things first, bestie: this is the GH-PROJECT-MARK-TEMPLATE(1) page from the GitHub CLI manual, and it's lowkey the most niche little glow-up command ever. it does exactly one thing and it does it iconically: it flips a project into template mode (or flips it right back out). that's the whole vibe. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

gh-project-mark-template — mark a project as a template 🫶

like, that's it. that's the job. she's a one-trick pony and the trick is slaying.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gh project mark-template [<number>] [flags]

so you got your gh project mark-template, you got an optional [<number>] for which project you're talking about, and then a pile of [flags] to customize. the square brackets mean "optional," which is your cue that this command is very much chill about things. 🦋

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

okay here's the flag menu, and honestly? it's giving customization.

• --format <string> — picks how the output gets formatted. the only value listed here is {json}, so if you want JSON, say JSON. 💖
• -q, --jq <expression> — filters that JSON output using a jq expression. yes, the real jq. she's a whole legend. 🔥
• --owner <string> — the login of the org owner. this is how you tell the command whose project you mean, iykyk.
• -t, --template <string> — formats the JSON output using a Go template. and like, for the details on that, the manpage literally says: see "gh help formatting". go read it, bestie, it's right there. 📖
• --undo — unmarks the project as a template. the undo button. the "jk, never mind." the take-backsies. 💀

---

🌈 EXIT CODES 🌈

listen, exit codes are the vibe check of the terminal, so let's learn them fr fr:

• 0 — successful execution. she ate. 👑
• 1 — error. something went sideways. 😭
• 2 — command canceled. nope, not doing it, we're out. 🙈
• 4 — authentication required. you gotta prove who you are first, babe. 🔐

NOTE: specific commands may have additional exit codes. refer to the command's help for more information. so like, don't assume these four are the whole story for every command — check the help. ⭐

---

🦋 EXAMPLE 🦋

here are the literal examples, copied with love, because honestly the examples are the main character here:

# Mark the github org's project "1" as a template
$ gh project mark-template 1 --owner "github"

# Unmark the github org's project "1" as a template
$ gh project mark-template 1 --owner "github" --undo

see how clean that is? mark it, then unmark it. balance. harmony. inner peace. 🧚
