Adds published checksums for the official GitHub CLI Linux repository keyring files to make it easier for users to verify downloads.
Changes:
- Adds a collapsible section listing SHA256/SHA512/MD5 checksums for the
.gpgand.asckeyring files. - Documents both binary and ASCII-armored keyring URLs alongside their checksums.

- Same as above: MD5 is collision-prone and shouldn’t be presented as an equally secure verification option. Consider adding a brief disclaimer near the checksums that MD5 is for legacy tooling only and recommend SHA256/SHA512 instead.

Adds published SHA/MD5 checksum values for the Linux repository keyring files to the Linux installation documentation to help users verify downloaded keyrings.
Changes:
- Adds a collapsible section containing SHA256/SHA512/MD5 checksums for the
.gpgand.asckeyring files. - Includes guidance discouraging MD5 usage except for legacy environments.

- The phrasing "SHA256/512" is a bit ambiguous; it would be clearer to refer to the algorithms explicitly as "SHA256 and SHA512" (or "SHA-256/SHA-512"). Since these values are hard-coded, consider also noting that they will be updated when the hosted keyring files change so users understand a future mismatch may indicate an updated keyring rather than a bad download.
> **For security reasons, it is strongly recommended to only rely on SHA256/512 checksums. MD5 checksums below are only for legacy systems where SHA256/512 tooling is not available.**

This MR contains the following updates: | Package | Update | Change | |---|---|---| | [cli/cli](https://github.com/cli/cli) | minor | `v2.89.0` → `v2.90.0` | MR created with the help of [el-capitano/tools/renovate-bot](https://gitlab.com/el-capitano/tools/renovate-bot). **Proposed changes to behavior should be submitted there as MRs.** --- ### Release Notes <details> <summary>cli/cli (cli/cli)</summary> ### [`v2.90.0`](https://github.com/cli/cli/releases/tag/v2.90.0): GitHub CLI 2.90.0 [Compare Source](cli/cli@v2.89.0...v2.90.0) #### Manage agent skills with `gh skill` (Public Preview) [Agent skills](https://agentskills.io) are portable sets of instructions, scripts, and resources that teach AI coding agents how to perform specific tasks. The new `gh skill` command makes it easy to discover, install, manage, and publish agent skills from GitHub repositories - right from the CLI. ``` # Discover skills gh skill search copilot # Preview a skill without installing gh skill preview github/awesome-copilot documentation-writer # Install a skill gh skill install github/awesome-copilot documentation-writer # Pin to a specific version gh skill install github/awesome-copilot documentation-writer --pin v1.2.0 # Check installed skills for updates gh skill update --all # Validate and publish your own skills gh skill publish --dry-run ``` Skills are automatically installed to the correct directory for your agent host. `gh skill` supports GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, and Antigravity. Target a specific agent and scope with `--agent` and `--scope` flags. `gh skill publish` validates skills against the [Agent Skills specification](https://agentskills.io/specification) and checks remote settings like tag protection and immutable releases to improve supply chain security. Read the full announcement on the [GitHub Blog](https://github.blog/changelog/2026-04-16-manage-agent-skills-with-github-cli/). `gh skill` is launching in public preview and is subject to change without notice. #### Official extension suggestions When you run a command that matches a known official extension that isn't installed (e.g. `gh stack`), the CLI now offers to install it instead of showing a generic "unknown command" error. This feature is available for [github/gh-aw](https://github.com/github/gh-aw) and [github/gh-stack](https://github.com/github/gh-stack). When possible, you'll be prompted to install immediately. When prompting isn't possible, the CLI prints the `gh extension install` command to run. #### `gh extension install` no longer requires authentication `gh extension install` previously required a valid auth token even though it only needs to download a public release asset. The auth check has been removed, so you can install extensions without being logged in. #### What's Changed ##### ✨ Features - Add `gh skill` command group: install, preview, search, update, publish by [@​SamMorrowDrums](https://github.com/SamMorrowDrums) in [#​13165](cli/cli#13165) -
