The command "gh environment" refers to a command-line interface (CLI) command in GitHub. It is part of the GitHub CLI tool, which allows users to interact with GitHub from their terminal or command prompt.
The "gh environment" command provides functionality related to environments on GitHub. An environment is a way to define a set of deployment environment variables (e.g., production, staging, development) that can be associated with a repository. These environment variables can be used to store sensitive information or configuration values needed for an application to run in a specific environment.
Some common features and subcommands of "gh environment" command include:
-
Creating an Environment: You can use "gh environment create" to create a new deployment environment for a repository.
-
Viewing Environments: "gh environment view" allows you to view the existing environments associated with a repository. It will display details such as the environment name, URL, and other relevant information.
-
Promoting and Demoting Environments: "gh environment promote" and "gh environment demote" can be used to promote or demote an environment. This is useful when you want to move an environment from one state to another (e.g., from staging to production).
-
Deleting an Environment: To remove an environment, you can use the "gh environment delete" command. This will remove the specified environment and its associated variables.
These are just a few examples of what can be done with the "gh environment" command. The exact behavior and available options may vary based on the version of GitHub CLI you have installed.
