Ask HN: When did GitHub replace standard Git commands with the “GitHub CLI?”

Having to use per-vendor tools for git seems more complicated than using single tool for all Git services.

I don't mind gh as an additional tool but OP's description suggests that Microsoft tries to replace git with gh entirely.

What git command tells you the fork on github.com that wants to send you a pull request?

(Hint: there is none, only the gh tool and GitHub api know it)

That's because "the fork on github.com sending a PR" is very specifically a feature of GitHub, not git itself.

That's not something you need to know in order to checkout a pull request's branch at all.
