Ask HN: When did GitHub replace standard Git commands with the “GitHub CLI?”

• cli

  253 35,338 9.7 Go

  GitHub’s official command line tool

  

problem some months ago and I never bothered building it again without this.

The entire reason I have "gh" on my system is to check out PRs and to set them up so I can push to them. I use it for noting else.

I do agree it would be nicer to also add the git commands (plural!), but I suspect they just didn't because it's multiple commands to get the same experience. That is: UI reasons, not anything sinister.

> proprietary "gh cli"

It's not "proprietary": https://github.com/cli/cli/blob/trunk/LICENSE

And as you can see in the screenshots above, it's just a wrapper around some git commands. If you want to call this "proprietary" then you should also call tig, got, and other alternative interfaces to git "proprietary".
