gh accessibility [flags]

gh accessibility displays guidance on GitHub CLI's accessibility experiences and how to enable them. It is aliased as gh a11y.The command describes four areas of accessibility support:Accessible colors — enables a 4-bit ANSI color palette with increased contrast based on terminal background (dark or light). This allows users to customize colors through their terminal preferences. Enable with `gh config set accessiblecolors enabled` or the `GHACCESSIBLE_COLORS` environment variable.Label colors — displays issue and pull request label colors using their custom RGB hex values in terminals with true color support. Enable with `gh config set colorlabels enabled` or the `GHCOLOR_LABELS` environment variable.Accessible prompter — replaces cursor-manipulating interactive prompts with non-interactive equivalents that work correctly with speech synthesizers and braille displays. Enable with `gh config set accessibleprompter enabled` or the `GHACCESSIBLE_PROMPTER` environment variable.Text-based spinners — replaces animated spinner characters with plain text progress indicators, removing motion that may cause discomfort or be misread by screen readers. Enable with `gh config set spinner disabled` or the `GHSPINNERDISABLED` environment variable.

Accessibility features were introduced as a public preview in GitHub CLI v2.72.0. Individual features must be enabled explicitly via `gh config set` or environment variables; running `gh accessibility` alone only displays the guidance text.
