Github Operations

Wraps the gh CLI for teams who live in issues, PRs, and Projects v2. Goes beyond basic commands with patterns for milestone tracking via REST API, batch issue creation, and GraphQL mutations for custom fields. The mandatory task management blocks feel heavy for simple operations, but the milestone vs epic breakdown and the CLI vs API identifier footgun warning are genuinely useful if you've ever assigned issues to "Sprint 5" only to have the API choke. Includes 2026 update notes on the retired gh-copilot extension. Best for workflows where you're scripting GitHub operations in bulk rather than clicking through the web UI.

GitHub Operations

Comprehensive GitHub CLI (gh) operations for project management, from basic issue creation to advanced Projects v2 integration and milestone tracking via REST API.

Overview

Creating and managing GitHub issues and PRs
Working with GitHub Projects v2 custom fields
Managing milestones (sprints, releases) via REST API
Automating bulk operations with gh
Running GraphQL queries for complex operations

CRITICAL: Task Management is MANDATORY (CC 2.1.16)

BEFORE doing ANYTHING else, create tasks to track progress:

# 1. Create main task IMMEDIATELY
TaskCreate(
  subject="GitHub Operations: {target}",
  description="Managing GitHub issues, PRs, milestones, or Projects",
  activeForm="Managing GitHub resources"
)

# 2. Create subtasks matching the operation scope
TaskCreate(subject="Issue management", activeForm="Creating/updating issues")
TaskCreate(subject="PR management", activeForm="Managing pull requests")
TaskCreate(subject="Milestone tracking", activeForm="Updating milestones")

# 3. Set dependencies if operations are sequential
TaskUpdate(taskId="3", addBlockedBy=["2"])
TaskUpdate(taskId="4", addBlockedBy=["3"])
