GitHub CLI is now in beta

GitHub CLI, now in beta, is a command line tool that enables you to work more seamlessly with your GitHub repositories right from your command line.

You can:

  • Create pull requests fully within your terminal or preview them on the web before submitting
  • Filter lists of a repository’s pull requests and issues to give you the information you need
  • View a snapshot of a repository’s pull requests and issues that are most relevant to you
  • Easily checkout pull request branches locally with one command
  • Quickly view issues and pull requests in the browser

We plan to add much more functionality and we’re eager to hear your feedback.

Learn more and check out the manual for more things you can do with GitHub CLI.

Late last year, we updated Security Advisories to enable you to edit published advisories with new or updated information (like a newly-fixed version or additional impact information). Now, you can see a history of the changes made to the advisory’s description and who made each change. We don’t yet capture changes to advisory fields (severity, affected versions, etc.) in the history.

Additionally, GitHub will no longer remove collaborators from Security Advisories during the publish process. With this change, your collaborators can continue to see the discussion and any private forks associated with the advisory after it’s published. You can still manually remove collaborators at any time.
