Rubber Duck Thursdays - Creating gh-game CLI extension
This episode dives into GitHub Actions, starting with a walkthrough of the build, linter, and release workflows configured for the GitHub Skyline CLI extension. Chris explains workflow triggers, permissions, and demonstrates cutting a live release using semantic versioning and the cli/gh-extension-precompile action to generate cross-platform binaries.
The second half focuses on creating a brand new GitHub CLI extension from scratch. Using gh extension create, Chris bootstraps the gh-game project and builds a coin toss game in Go with the Cobra package. GitHub Copilot assists with scaffolding the command structure, applying code changes, and generating commit messages. The stream also covers publishing the repository using gh repo create.
