SYNOPSIS
gh-agent [OPTIONS] [ARGS]
(Non-standard; syntax unknown)
PARAMETERS
-h, --help
Display help (assumed standard)
--version
Show version info (assumed standard)
DESCRIPTION
The gh-agent command does not appear to be a standard Linux utility or part of common distributions like Ubuntu, Fedora, or Arch Linux. Extensive checks against man pages, package repositories (apt, yum, pacman), and coreutils/binutils yield no results.
It may refer to a custom script, third-party tool, or internal GitHub component related to GitHub CLI (gh) or GitHub Actions runners. GitHub CLI (gh) has no agent subcommand as of version 2.48.0. GitHub Actions self-hosted runners use binaries like runner or config.sh, not gh-agent.
If this is from a specific project, repository, or containerized environment (e.g., Docker image), provide more context for accurate analysis. No official documentation found on GitHub, kernel.org, or Linux man pages. Potential confusion with gpg-agent(1) (GnuPG key agent) or GitHub's actions/runner.
CAVEATS
Command not found in PATH on standard systems. Verify installation source to avoid security risks from untrusted binaries.
VERIFICATION STEPS
Run which gh-agent or command -v gh-agent to check existence. Search apt search gh-agent or GitHub repos for custom tools.
ALTERNATIVES
For GitHub automation: gh CLI, act (local Actions), or gpg-agent for keys.
HISTORY
No documented history. Possibly project-specific or deprecated. GitHub CLI (gh) originated 2018 by GitHub Inc., but no agent integration noted.
