GH-WORKFLOW-DISABLE(1)

💅 gh-workflow-disable — the GitHub CLI manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so real talk, this is a page from the GitHub CLI manual (gh), and today we're talking about gh-workflow-disable. yes it does exactly what it says on the tin and yes it slays at doing it 💖

---

✨ NAME ✨

gh-workflow-disable — literally just disables a workflow. that's her whole job. iconic honestly 👑

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

gh workflow disable [<workflow-id> | <workflow-name>] [flags]

so you can point at a workflow by its <workflow-id> or by its <workflow-name> — dealer's choice, no cap 🫶 and then there's [flags] if you're feeling extra.

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the vibe: this bad girl disables a workflow, which means it stops it from running, AND it stops it from showing up when you're listing workflows. two-for-one behaviour, we love to see it ✨

like, gone-gone. not running, not listed. she's on a break, do not disturb 💅

---

💜 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 💜

not me having to explain that these flags came from the parent command — they're hand-me-downs but make them work, fr fr 🧚

• -R, --repo <[HOST/]OWNER/REPO> — picks a different repository for you, and you write it in the [HOST/]OWNER/REPO format. that's the whole thing. use it when you're not already sitting in the repo you care about 🌈

---

⭐ EXIT CODES ⭐

the little numbers she gives you when she's done — read them, they're telling you something 🫶

• 0 — successful execution. we ate and left no crumbs 💖
• 1 — error. something went sideways 😭
• 2 — command canceled. you (or something) hit the brakes 💀
• 4 — authentication required. gotta log in first babes 🙈

NOTE: specific commands may have additional exit codes — go check that command's help for more info, iykyk 📖
