And no, I'm not talking about
git
. I'm looking for a tool that I can use in scripts to automate non-git tasks on GitHub such as creating new repositories, drafting releases, uploading assets to a release, etc.I started dipping my toes into
gh
, GitHub's official cli tool, but when I created a repository it immediately cloned it, which is not what I want. I know I can justrm -rf
the repo but ideally the tool I use would do only what I tell it and nothing more.Reading the docs for
hub
, it might do what I want, although I have some reservations about the project after reading this post written by the developer: https://mislav.net/2020/01/github-cli/I've also come across git-hub, which doesn't support creating repos AFAICT, and git-spindle, which doesn't support uploading assets.
Are there any other command line GitHub clients I should consider?
Which one do you use? What's your experience with it been like?

For all its flaws, Reddit is still a great news source, especially for niche areas. Unfortunately, more and more dark patterns are being added to Reddit's official site and apps. I'm reaching a saturation point and thinking I should probably switch to an alternative way of browsing it. I see a lot of apps aimed at browsing images/GIFs. I'd like something more similar to old/compact Reddit, optimized for text without distractions, but ideally less buggy. Any recommendations?
Edit: thanks all for your answers!
