The gh-mintty command does not correspond to any standard Linux utility or known tool in major distributions. gh refers to the GitHub CLI tool (gh(1)), used for interacting with GitHub from the command line. MinTTY, on the other hand, is a popular terminal emulator (mintty.exe) primarily for Windows environments like Cygwin, MSYS2, and Git for Windows, not native Linux.

There is no documented subcommand, extension, or binary named gh-mintty in the official GitHub CLI (version 2.48.0 as of latest). It may be a custom script, alias, third-party wrapper combining GitHub CLI with MinTTY features (e.g., for cross-platform terminal handling), or a typo/misremembered name. No man page, package in repos like apt/yum/pacman, or upstream source matches this exactly.

If encountered in a specific project or environment, it likely launches MinTTY with GitHub CLI context, but lacks official documentation. Users should check local scripts ($PATH) or project repos for details.

Not a standard command; may not exist outside custom setups. MinTTY is Windows-focused; Linux alternatives include xterm, alacritty. Potential confusion with gh CLI extensions.

Run which gh-mintty or type gh-mintty to check if local. Search GitHub for custom repos.

For GitHub CLI: gh. For terminals on Linux: kitty(1), foot(1).

No official history; gh CLI developed by GitHub (2018+, CLI v0.5 initial release). MinTTY by Andy Koppe (2008+). No merged gh-mintty project found.
