gh-api: Include the HTTP response headers in the output.
$ gh api --include ${endpoint}
try on your machine

The command "gh api --include ${endpoint}" is used with the "gh" command-line tool.

The "gh" tool is the official command-line interface (CLI) for GitHub. It provides a way to interact with GitHub repositories, issues, pull requests, and other features using the command line.

In this specific command, "api" is a subcommand of "gh" that allows you to make HTTP requests to the GitHub REST API. The "--include" flag is used to include HTTP response headers in the output.

The "${endpoint}" placeholder represents the API endpoint URL where the HTTP request will be sent. The actual endpoint should be provided when running the command. For example, if you want to retrieve information about a specific GitHub repository, you would replace "${endpoint}" with something like "/repos/{owner}/{repo}", where "{owner}" and "{repo}" are placeholders for the owner and name of the repository.

Overall, this command allows you to make API requests to GitHub and retrieve information or perform actions programmatically using the "gh" CLI tool.
