GitHub CLI is now in beta
So is this like an improved version of git with an easier command line syntax?<p>As in, can you use it for local gittering, or does it really require a connection to github all the time?<p>Because I don't feel good about this tool if it's basically another trick at lock-in. Git the versioning system is currently pretty open; You can use your own local repos, host on gitlab or github or your own server, and you really do roughly get the same experience from the command line.<p>Like, is this going to prompt me to host my local git repos on github? Not whether it can, of course it can, will it nag me?<p>People used to call these worries FUD but they also put ads in the start menu and turned telemetry up to 11, for an OS. I think current day it's a legitimate worry to consider. I haven't really had the misfortune of having to deal with such attitude towards users on the command line. But we'll see.<p>Or do they see "developers" as an audience to be treated differently than "end users".
