New features

Support for command extensions

GitHub CLI extensions are additional gh commands that you can install from other repositories. For example:

$ gh extension install owner/gh-my-extension

# invoke the new command
$ gh my-extension

For more information, see gh help extension. To see currently published extensions, browse repositories with the gh-extension topic. Note that extensions may have runtime dependencies other than gh.
