A comment on GitHub CLI 1.0.

Is there an advantage to using this over the standard git cli tool?

It seems kinda like making a cli tool for a web interface for a tool. I guess I'm just missing something.

Edit: Spelling.

Yes, you are missing. This is GitHUB cli, not git cli. This has nothing to do with git.

> GitHUB cli

So a wrapper for an API for a website for git? Why?

Edit: Also, how does anything working with GitHub have nothing to do with git?

Edit 2: Don't get me wrong, this looks like a cool tool. I'm just curious about the motivation.

Github provides additional functionalities over git for which users had to switch from cli to web. Now they are bringing those additional functionalities to cli so users dont have to switch context
