Experimental: Route GitHub API traffic through a custom host

Organizations can now route a GitHub host's API traffic through a gateway using the new per-host api_host configuration:

# Route API traffic for github.com through a gateway
gh config set api_host gh-gateway.example.com --host github.com

# Read the configured API host
gh config get api_host --host github.com

The original host remains in use for authentication, Git remotes, and browser URLs.

What's Changed

Attach images and videos to issues and pull requests

The repeatable --attach flag uploads local images and videos and adds them to issue, pull request, or comment bodies. If a body already references the local path, gh replaces it with the uploaded URL; otherwise it appends the attachment:

# Attach files when creating or editing an issue
gh issue create --attach './repro.png#The error state'
gh issue edit 123 --attach ./walkthrough.mp4

# Attach files when creating or editing a pull request
gh pr create --attach ./before.png
gh pr edit 456 --attach ./after.png

# Attach files to comments
gh issue comment 123 --attach ./repro.png
gh pr comment 456 --attach ./result.mp4

Repeat the flag to attach multiple files in a single invocation. Attachments are available on GitHub.com and GitHub Enterprise Cloud.

For more information see https://gh.io/gh-attach and https://github.blog/changelog/2026-09-01-github-cli-media-in-issues-pull-requests-and-comments/

Worktree support extended to gh issue develop

gh issue develop can now create a linked branch and check it out in a new Git worktree, leaving your current working copy unchanged:

# Create a linked branch for an issue and check it out in a worktree
gh issue develop 123 --checkout --worktree /path/to/wt-feature

Full Changelog: v2.97.0...v2.98.0

Security

Four security vulnerabilities have been identified, and fixed, in this release. Users are advised to update gh to version v2.97.0 as soon as possible.

Several commands (including gh gist view, gh api, gh pr diff, gh release download --output -, gh codespace logs, gh skills preview, and gh agent-task view/create) printed externally controlled content without neutralizing terminal escape sequences, allowing escape sequence injection into a user's terminal.

See GHSA-3m3g-3wcr-px46 for more information.

Some request URLs were built without escaping their variable path components, so a value containing URL path metacharacters could alter the request path and cause gh to address a different resource than intended.

See GHSA-4fjg-2h4q-fwg3 for more information.

gh auth status (without --show-token) could print a portion of the authentication token in plaintext for token types whose format contains an underscore after the prefix, such as github_pat_*, ghs_*, and ghu_*.

See GHSA-cg6r-mpgc-h9mm for more information.

gh attestation verify built the certificate matcher from --signer-repo and --signer-workflow without escaping regex metacharacters, so a lookalike repository or workflow name could satisfy a matcher intended for a trusted signer and bypass attestation verification.

See GHSA-mm27-mwq9-fr5g for more information.

Address project fields and items by name in gh project

gh project item-edit and gh project item-list can now reference project fields and single-select options by name:

# Set an item's field by name
gh project item-edit 1 --owner monalisa --url <url> --field "Status" --value "In Progress"

# Show named fields as extra columns
gh project item-list 1 --owner "@me" --field "Status" --field "Priority"

Security

A security vulnerability has been identified, and fixed, that could allow command execution on a user's computer when connecting to a malicious Codespace via gh codespace jupyter.

Users of gh codespace jupyter are advised to update gh to version v2.96.0 as soon as possible.

For more information see: GHSA-8cg3-r6g9-fpg2

Download release assets without authentication

Full Changelog: v2.95.0...v2.96.0

Read repository files and directories with gh repo read-file and gh repo read-dir

Two new preview commands read repository contents without cloning:

# Read a single file to stdout
gh repo read-file README.md --repo cli/cli

# Read from a specific branch, tag, or commit
gh repo read-file go.mod --ref v2.94.0 --repo cli/cli

# Write a file to disk (use --clobber to overwrite)
gh repo read-file README.md --output ./README.md --repo cli/cli

# List the entries in a directory
gh repo read-dir script --repo cli/cli

Both commands default to the repository's default branch, accept --ref to target any branch, tag, or commit, and support --json, --jq, and --template for scripting. This makes it easy for agents and automation to inspect a repo without a full checkout.

Issue types, sub-issues, and relationships in gh issue

This release brings GitHub's advanced issue features to gh issue create, edit, view, and list. You can set and view an issue's type, organize work with sub-issues, and track blocked-by and blocking relationships without leaving the command line:

# Set an issue's type
gh issue create --type Bug
gh issue edit 123 --type Bug

# Organize work with sub-issues
gh issue create --parent 100
gh issue edit 100 --add-sub-issue 123

# Track blocked-by and blocking relationships
gh issue create --blocked-by 200
gh issue edit 123 --add-blocking 300

Issue types and sub-issues are available on GitHub.com and GHES 3.17+; relationships require GHES 3.19+.

Manage discussions with gh discussion

This release introduces the discussion command set for working with GitHub Discussions in gh:

# List discussions
gh discussion list

# View a discussion, its comments, or replies to a comment
gh discussion view 123 --comments

# Create a discussion
gh discussion create

# Edit a discussion
gh discussion edit 123

# Comment on a discussion
gh discussion comment 123

# Reply to a comment using its URL
gh discussion comment <url>

Run gh discussion --help for more information.

Equip your agents with new gh features

Teach your agents how to leverage new GitHub CLI features on release day by installing the gh skill:

# Install
gh skill install cli/cli gh --scope user

Support GitHub Enterprise Cloud (GHEC) in skill commandset

Now gh skill subcommands (install, preview, publish, search, update) are able to work with GHEC hosts with data residency.

Add --allow-hidden-dirs flag to skill preview

Following the addition of --allow-hidden-dirs to skill install in the previous release, now the flag is also supported in skill preview, allowing users to preview skills located in hidden (dot-prefixed) directories such as .claude/skills/, .agents/skills/, and .github/skills/.

GitHub CLI now collects pseudonymous telemetry

To better understand how features are used in practice, especially as agentic adoption grows, GitHub CLI now sends pseudonymous telemetry.

See Telemetry for more details on what's collected, why, and how to opt out.

Support more agents in gh skill

Thanks to community feedback, gh now supports a large number of agent hosts. Run gh skill install --help for the list of available agents.

Improve skill discovery

gh skill install now adds the --allow-hidden-dirs flag to support discovering skills in hidden (dot-prefixed) directories such as .claude/skills/, .agents/skills/, and .github/skills/.

Detect skills re-published from other sources

GitHub CLI now detects if the skill to be installed is re-published from an upstream source and offers the option to install it from there. The --upstream flag is also added for non-interactive use cases.
