gh-api: Send a request to a specific GitHub Enterprise Server.
$ gh api --hostname ${github-example-com} ${endpoint}
try on your machine

This command is using the GitHub CLI (Command Line Interface) to interact with the GitHub API.

  • gh is the command to invoke the GitHub CLI.
  • api is the subcommand of gh used to interact with the GitHub API.
  • --hostname ${github-example-com} is an optional flag used to specify the GitHub hostname to make the API request to. In this case, it seems like github-example-com is intended to be a placeholder for the actual GitHub hostname.
  • ${endpoint} is a placeholder for the specific endpoint of the GitHub API that you want to interact with.

By executing this command with the appropriate values, you can make requests to the GitHub API and retrieve data or perform actions on your GitHub repositories and resources.
