gh extension [flags]

GitHub CLI extensions are repositories that provide additional gh commands.

The name of the extension repository must start with gh- and it must contain an executable of the same name. All arguments passed to the gh <extname> invocation will be forwarded to the gh-<extname> executable of the extension.

An extension cannot override any of the core gh commands. If an extension name conflicts with a core gh command, you can use gh extension exec <extname>.

When an extension is executed, gh will check for new versions once every 24 hours and display an upgrade notice. See gh help environment for information on disabling extension notices.

For the list of available extensions, see  ⟨https://github.com/topics/gh-extension⟩.
