What is Installation and Setup?
Installing GitHub CLI involves downloading the gh tool through a package manager like Homebrew, apt, or winget, depending on the operating system. After installation, running gh auth login connects the tool to a GitHub account through browser or token-based authentication. Once authenticated, gh commands can be run from any repository to interact with GitHub directly.
