Command Line Interface

GitHub Desktop Plus includes a CLI that lets you open repositories and clone them directly from the terminal.

Usage

github-desktop-plus-cli                           Open the current directory
github-desktop-plus-cli open [path]               Open the provided path
github-desktop-plus-cli clone [-b branch] <url>   Clone a repository by URL or name/owner (e.g. torvalds/linux)

Creating a shorter alias

If you find github-desktop-plus-cli too long to type, you can create a shorter alias in your shell (e.g. github-plus, or even just github):

Windows (PowerShell)

Add this line to your PowerShell profile (open it with notepad $PROFILE):

Set-Alias github-plus github-desktop-plus-cli

macOS / Linux (Bash or Zsh)

Add this line to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc:

alias github-plus='github-desktop-plus-cli'

macOS / Linux (Fish)

Run once:

alias --save github-plus github-desktop-plus-cli
