The `gh-repo` command provides a convenient way to interact with GitHub repositories directly from the command line using the GitHub CLI (`gh`). It allows users to perform various actions, such as opening a repository in a web browser, cloning it locally, viewing its details, and more. This tool enhances productivity by reducing the need to switch between the terminal and a web browser for common GitHub tasks. It provides a simple, efficient, and integrated workflow for developers and users who frequently interact with GitHub repositories. The command utilizes the GitHub API under the hood to retrieve information and execute actions, ensuring that users have access to the latest features and data available on GitHub.

Requires the GitHub CLI (`gh`) to be installed and authenticated. Some actions might require specific permissions on the target repository.

Opening a repository in the browser:
gh repo browse owner/repo-name

Cloning a repository:
gh repo clone owner/repo-name

The gh tool handles authentication through the gh auth command. Ensure you are properly authenticated before using gh repo.

The `gh-repo` command is part of the GitHub CLI, which was developed by GitHub to provide a more streamlined command-line interface for interacting with GitHub. It was created to address the limitations of using `git` alone for managing GitHub repositories, and to make it easier for developers to automate common tasks and workflows.
