Ask HN: When did GitHub replace standard Git commands with the “GitHub CLI?” | Jan 2023

I not sure to understand but GH CLI is a free software (MIT License). If you already use Github, there is no more proprietary software.

Show HN: GitHub Slash Commands | Nov 2020

Hello HN!

We're Joao and Tiago, and together we've built Slash Commands for GitHub to control your Issues and Pull Requests through your comments, which is available on GitHub Marketplace as of today [1].

As a bonus, we've also added a few pro features that we think you'll like:

- /giphy - Embed your favorite GIFs in your comments - /merge-when-checks-green - will merge your Pull Request automatically after all your checks have succeeded - /copy-metadata - Copies metadata (labels, asignees, etc...) from one Issue to another

Since this was built as a native GitHub app, all commands will work seamlessly with integrations such as the GitHub VSCode extension [2] and their CLI tool [3].

We've had a ton of fun building this project using Elixir and we want to continue improving it every day.

We'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas over at https://github.com/slash-commands/feedback.

GitHub's CLI lets you make a pull request and edit it in $EDITOR, works great.
