Installation from source

Clone cli into ~/.githubcli

$ git clone https://github.com/cli/cli.git ~/.githubcli

Compile

$ cd ~/.githubcli && make

Add ~/.githubcli/bin to your $PATH for access to the gh command-line utility.

For bash:

$ echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.githubcli/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile

For Zsh:

$ echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.githubcli/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

For Fish shell:

$ set -Ux fish_user_paths $HOME/.githubcli/bin $fish_user_paths

Restart your shell so that PATH changes take effect.
