GitHub CLI skill for interacting with GitHub via the gh command line tool. Use when Bub needs to (1) Create, view, or manage GitHub repositories, (2) Work with issues and pull requests, (3) Create and manage releases, (4) Run and monitor GitHub Actions workflows, (5) Create and manage gists, (6) Install and manage agent skills, or (7) Perform any GitHub operations via command line.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# GitHub CLI (gh) Skill

Interact with GitHub using the gh command line tool.

Run commands with Bub's `bash` tool, setting `cwd` to the target checkout when using local repository context. If it returns a running shell ID, collect the result with `bash.output` before retrying the command.

## Prerequisites

Use the authentication source specified by the user or workspace. For github.com, `GH_TOKEN` takes precedence over `GITHUB_TOKEN`, and both override stored `gh` credentials.

Check authentication:
```bash
gh auth status
```

If not authenticated, report the blocker; do not silently switch credentials. Run interactive login only when the user requests authentication setup:
```bash
gh auth login
```

## Repository Operations

```bash
gh repo create <name> [--public|--private]
gh repo clone <owner/repo>
gh repo fork <owner/repo>
gh repo view [owner/repo]
gh repo list [owner]
```

## Issue Operations

```bash
gh issue create --title "Title" --body "Body"
gh issue list [--state open|closed]
gh issue view <number>
gh issue close <number>
gh issue comment <number> --body "Comment"
```

## Pull Request Operations

```bash
gh pr create --title "Title" --body "Body"

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bubbuild/bub/gh@sha256:e0f11c439e4fdd93

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261001.833f494, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
