gh-browse: Open the wiki of the current repository in the default web browser.
$ gh browse --wiki
try on your machine

The command "gh browse --wiki" is used with the "gh" (GitHub CLI) tool to open the wiki of a GitHub repository in a web browser.

Here's a breakdown of the elements in the command:

  • "gh": This is the command-line interface tool for GitHub that provides various features and options to interact with GitHub repositories and perform tasks from the terminal.
  • "browse": This subcommand launches a web browser and opens the specified GitHub repository or its associated pages.
  • "--wiki": This flag specifically instructs the tool to open the wiki of the GitHub repository instead of the repository itself.

By executing the "gh browse --wiki" command, you can conveniently access the wiki associated with a GitHub repository directly in your default web browser, allowing you to view, edit, and manage the repository's wiki content.
