# GitHub CLI
`gh` is GitHub on the command line, and it's now available in beta. It brings pull requests, issues, and other GitHub concepts to
the terminal next to where you are already working with `git` and your code.
## Availability
While in beta, GitHub CLI is available for repos hosted on GitHub.com only. It does not currently support repositories hosted on GitHub Enterprise Server or other hosting providers. We are planning support for GitHub Enterprise Server after GitHub CLI is out of beta (likely toward the end of 2020), and we want to ensure that the API endpoints we use are more widely available for GHES versions that most GitHub customers are on.
## We need your feedback
GitHub CLI is currently early in its development, and we're hoping to get feedback from people using it.
If you've installed and used `gh`, we'd love for you to take a short survey here (no more than five minutes): https://forms.gle/umxd3h31c7aMQFKG7
And if you spot bugs or have features that you'd really like to see in `gh`, please check out the [contributing page][]
## Usage
- `gh pr [status, list, view, checkout, create]`
- `gh issue [status, list, view, create]`
- `gh repo [view, create, clone, fork]`
- `gh config [get, set]`
- `gh help`
## Documentation

## Comparison with hub
For many years, [hub][] was the unofficial GitHub CLI tool. `gh` is a new project for us to explore
what an official GitHub CLI tool can look like with a fundamentally different design. While both
tools bring GitHub to the terminal, `hub` behaves as a proxy to `git` and `gh` is a standalone
tool. Check out our [more detailed explanation](/docs/gh-vs-hub.md) to learn more.
