Wraps the official GitHub CLI feature and adds persistent volume mounts for config and state.

"features": {
    "ghcr.io/sliekens/devcontainer-features/github-cli:1": {}
}

This feature does not expose configurable options.

These directories are bind-mounted from the host so that auth and configuration are preserved across container rebuilds.

Because Docker cannot bind-mount a directory that does not yet exist, consuming devcontainer.json files should add an initializeCommand to pre-create these directories on the host before the container starts:

{
    "image": "mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/base:ubuntu",
    "features": {
        "ghcr.io/sliekens/devcontainer-features/github-cli:1": {}
    },
    "initializeCommand": "mkdir -p \"$HOME/.config/gh\" \"$HOME/.local/share/gh\""
}

This feature is released under the MIT License.

The installed tool is subject to its own license: GitHub CLI license.

• GitHub CLI manual

• Add trailing slash to bind mount source paths to mark them explicitly as directories.

• Use bind mounts from host ~/.config/gh and ~/.local/share/gh instead of Docker volumes for persistent state.

• Initial release.
