gh-help: Display help for a subcommand.
$ gh help ${subcommand}
try on your machine
The command "gh help ${subcommand}" is used to get help and information about a specific subcommand in the GitHub CLI (Command Line Interface) tool.
Here's how it works:
- "gh" refers to the GitHub CLI executable that needs to be installed and available in the system's environment variables or executable PATH.
- "help" is the subcommand that is used to request help and get information about other subcommands or topics.
- "${subcommand}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the subcommand you want to get help for. For example, if you want to get help for the "repo" subcommand, replace "${subcommand}" with "repo" like this: "gh help repo".
When you run the command "gh help ${subcommand}", the GitHub CLI will display detailed information about the specified subcommand. This information typically includes a description, usage examples, available options, and other useful details related to the subcommand.
It's a convenient way to quickly access the documentation and usage guidelines for various subcommands within the GitHub CLI tool.
