gh-rs is a high-performance, feature-rich command-line interface for GitHub, implemented in Rust. Designed as a drop-in replacement and enhancement over the official gh tool, it offers superior speed, lower memory usage, and additional functionalities like advanced filtering, batch operations, and better API handling.

Key features include full support for repository management, pull requests, issues, releases, workflows, and authentication. It leverages Rust's efficiency for rapid execution, even with large repositories or complex queries. Ideal for developers seeking a lightweight, extensible GitHub CLI.

Unlike the Go-based gh, gh-rs compiles to a single binary, supports more flags per command, and includes experimental features like GraphQL introspection. Actively maintained with frequent updates.

Third-party tool, not officially supported by GitHub. Install via cargo install gh-rs. May have compatibility differences with official gh in edge cases.

cargo install gh-rs or download prebuilt binaries from GitHub releases.
Requires GitHub token via gh-rs auth login.

Common: repo (manage repos), pr (pull requests), issue, release, workflow. Use gh-rs --help for full list.

Initiated in 2023 by Sebastian Popp as a Rust reimplementation of GitHub CLI. Surpassed official gh in benchmarks for speed and features by mid-2024. Open-source under Apache-2.0/MIT licenses, with ongoing contributions.
