GH 2.99.0 adds a repeatable --attach flag to upload local media and insert it into the Markdown content.
GitHub CLI 2.99.0 adds a repeatable --attach flag to upload images or videos and reference them in issues, pull requests and comments from the command line.
What the ad actually changes
This function reduces the break between terminal and browser when the problem is visual. It also allows authorized scripts and agents to join a capture or demo, with an alternative description kept in the Markdown.
Key points to remember
- Multiple media can be attached in a single command.
- Formats and limits follow the announced GitHub upload rules.
- A write right on the repository is necessary to send the file.
Consequences for sites and digital teams
Bug reports and interface reviews can become more accurate as soon as they are created. Teams must nevertheless monitor visible data in captures, remove secrets and provide understandable alternative text.
What to check before acting
- Update GH to a compatible version.
- Clean up captures of any personal or key data.
- Check size, format, rights and alternate text before sending.
Our reading
Adding media brings automated workflows closer to truly useful human documentation. The quality will depend less on uploading than on the choice of relevant and accessible evidence.
