gh-workflow: Display the YAML definition for a specific Git branch or tag.
$ gh workflow view ${select} --ref ${select1} --yaml
try on your machine

This command is using the GitHub CLI ("gh") to view a workflow in a GitHub repository.

Let's break down the different parts of the command:

  • ${select}: This is a placeholder for a parameter or variable that you need to replace with an actual value. It refers to the specific workflow you want to view. You should replace ${select} with the name or ID of the workflow you want to view.

  • --ref ${select1}: This is another placeholder for a parameter or variable that needs to be replaced. It is used to specify the branch, tag, or commit SHA that contains the workflow file you want to view. Replace ${select1} with the desired reference (e.g., branch name, commit SHA, etc.).

  • --yaml: This flag specifies that you want to view the workflow in YAML format. YAML is a human-readable data serialization format commonly used for configuration files. By including this flag, the command will display the workflow's contents in YAML format.

Overall, this command allows you to use the GitHub CLI to view a specific workflow in a GitHub repository, specifying the branch or commit where the workflow exists and viewing it in YAML format.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
