Yes, this! We'd love to open the beta up to more folks, but we're capped at that number for now. Excited to bring it to more people soon though!

Hi! We're working on the mobile experience across the board. Here's a recent tweet highlighting improvements to the mobile web experience: https://twitter.com/natfriedman/status/1227378615387443200?s...

And yes, we're also definitely investing in the mobile app as well and the reception from the beta has been really positive so I'm excited for when we're able to roll it out to everyone.

Absolutely, thanks for sharing and apologies that we're not quite there yet!

No disrespect to hub whatsoever, and it helped inspire much of how we've thought about `gh`. We're fans of hub too and just decided to take this in a bit different direction.

Thanks for the feedback. There's also a --preview flag in the view commands if you want to see the body in your terminal. We're still working on a bunch more functionality, and we intend to add more flags to allow you to customize the things that are most useful to you. But we wanted to get this in people's hands early to get feedback to help inform where we go from here.

Thanks for the shout! That was a community contribution and I totally missed it! It was an outdated version, but should now be updated to the latest 0.5.4. Really appreciate you sharing this. :)

Sorry! We're hoping to get to it after gh is out of beta. It's definitely something we're hearing people want, and I'm excited for when we can say it just works. :)

It doesn't - it's just the code on that PR, but you can also use a --preview flag on pr view to get render the body of the PR in your terminal. We may explore something around incorporating comments down the road as well.

We don't have GitHub Enterprise Server support yet, but that's something we're planning to work on after gh is out of beta.

Thanks! I'm definitely curious what you think when you start venturing into creating and checking out PRs in particular, and how we're managing the `pr status` and `issue status` commands in terms of what's shown vs. what you expect or would like to see to get the most relevant context.

Hi! I'm on the team building GitHub CLI. We're definitely eager for your feedback on what things feel like they're missing, and especially if something is broken or doesn't feel stable or reliable. Feel free to open an issue if there's anything that stands out.

The different homebrew installation you referred to is because `gh` isn't part of homebrew/core yet as it's very new. So we'll be adding it in the coming months, but for now that's just a way for us to maintain our own tap and still provide an easy install/upgrade path.
