The command "gh api --help" is used with the GitHub CLI (Command Line Interface) to display help information related to the "api" command provided by the GitHub CLI. The "gh api" command allows you to interact with the GitHub REST API directly from the command line.

By appending "--help" to the command, you are requesting help documentation specifically for the "api" command. This will provide you with detailed information on how to use the command, including available options and arguments, their usage, and any additional details that may be useful.

The "--help" flag is commonly used with command line tools to access documentation and understand how to use a specific command without referring to external resources or manuals. It gives you an overview of the command's capabilities and syntax, helping you to leverage the command effectively in your workflow.
