MULTIPLE ACCOUNT SUPPORT:
With the v2.40.0 release, multi-account support is introduced to gh for GitHub.com and GitHub Enterprise and it is only the beginning!
Thanks to @gabe565 for his efforts to support multi-account capabilities with gh-profile extension for this long requested feature!
This release focuses on several specific use cases:
adding multiple accounts for GitHub.com and GitHub Enterprise with gh auth login
switching manually between accounts for gh and git use with gh auth switch
seeing multiple accounts with gh auth status
logging out of accounts with gh auth logout
Future enhancements such as automatic account switching based on context and more git automatic git configuration will be planned based on community feedback.
For much more detail about the specific of multiple account support in this release as well as a discussion of the sharp edges, please see this doc.
Please provide feedback in our release discussion.

gh ruleset:
Repository Rulesets are in beta on git hub dot com and they are now also in beta on git hub sea ell eye. You can list, view, and check branches against rulesets set at the repository or organization level. Major shoutouts to @vaindil for this big contribution. My favorite command in here is gh rs check which will tell you what rules would apply to a hypothetical branch name. To learn more, run gh help ruleset.
gh cache:
gh cache is a new top level command in our suite of support for Actions. It lets you list and delete caches saved in Actions. It's neat and I like it. Thanks, @joshkraft ! To learn more, run gh help cache.

WHAT'S NEW:
macOS binaries are now signed and notarized
warning macOS archives attached to our releases are no longer .tar.gz, but .zip instead. This is because .tar.gz archives cannot be notarized.
The checksums.txt file attached to every release now includes the checksum of the Windows MSI installer too.
macOS and Windows binaries are now compiled from their respective platforms and have cgo enabled. This might help resolve respecting system proxy settings and avoid related networking issues.

gh 2.26.0:
Important: credentials now stored securely by default
When running gh auth login, your credentials will now be stored in your operating system's credential storage instead of directly on disk. In other words, --secure-storage is now default behavior. We've added a new flag, --insecure-storage, to opt into the old insecure behavior in case you need to debug an issue with credential storage.
As before, to take advantage of credential storage, please re-run gh auth login.
For more context, you can read the v2.24.0 release notes

WHAT'S NEW:
Option to store gh access token in system encrypted storage
The gh auth login and gh auth refresh commands gained the new --secure-storage flag. In this mode, the access token that GitHub CLI uses for GitHub API requests will now be stored in the system keyring instead of in the plain text config file.
To migrate as an existing GitHub CLI user, re-authenticate like so:
gh auth refresh --secure-storage -h github.com
Depending on your system, you could get an interactive prompt to allow the CLI tool to access the system keyring. The systems that are supported are:
Keychain on macOS
GNOME Keyring on Linux (Secret Service dbus interface)
Wincred on Windows
If none of the system storage providers are found, or the store operation fails, the token will be written to the config file as before.
Using this feature could result in Go extensions breaking if they were not updated to the latest go-gh version. If extensions you are using no longer work after migrating your token to secure token storage, please report the issue to that extension's repository.
Storing tokens in system keyring most likely won't work in “headless” environments.

WHAT'S NEW:
Selecting a default repository:
When running a gh command for the first time in a local git repository that has multiple git remotes, gh used to interactively ask Which should be the base repository? so that the user may choose the git remote to default to when making queries to GitHub repositories. This had several problems:
Some users did not fully understand what they are being asked to choose;
The term “base repository” isn't an established GitHub term, except in the context of Pull Requests;
Once chosen, the only way to undo or change the choice made was to manually edit .git/config in the local repository.
The new behavior is as follows:
gh commands in a repository with multiple remotes will now error out until a default has been chosen.
The new gh repo set-default command can be used to select a default, view the selected value, or undo the selection altogether.
Internal git operations are now always authenticated:
Previously, it could be confusing that a properly authenticated gh repo clone command could fail with a prompt for GitHub password. The underlying reason was that gh repo clone would shell out to git clone , and from then on the authentication was entirely up to git's own credential management. If git wasn't set up to authenticate to GitHub, this could result in a generic password prompt, which appeared as if it was coming from gh.
The best general solution for setting up git to use credentials from GitHub CLI is to run gh auth setup-git. However, in this release, gh ensures that all underlying git operations are authenticated by gh, even if git on its own wasn't configured with a credential helper.
The way this works is by injecting extra configuration arguments when shelling out to git:
git -c credential.helper='!gh auth git-credential' clone
Thank you @samcoe! #6541
The gh api command now accepts nested JSON parameters
The gh api command is similar to the popular curl tool, but with JSON encoding & parsing support and with built-in GitHub authentication. Sending JSON POST parameters was as easy as:
gh api -f 'param1=value1' -f 'param2=value2'
Now there is also a way to send nested JSON objects and arrays via a special brackets syntax when specifying field names:
gh api -f 'head[branch][name]=main'
gh api -f 'labels[]=bug' -f 'labels[]=priority-1'
Thank you @mislav! #6614

Precompiled extensions:
We've made a significant change to gh's extension system. Now, extension authors can work in a precompiled language like Go and ship pre-compiled binaries of their extensions via release assets.
We've added scaffolding and helpers to make it a first class experience when working in Go, though of course any compiled binaries will work just fine as long as they are uploaded to a release with the expected naming scheme.
To assist with releasing precompiled extensions (Go or otherwise), we've created an action that helps automates the building and release process.
To get started, run gh extension create.

binary extension migration by @vilmibm in #4588
make extension create binary aware by @vilmibm in #4718
Extensions create nail_care by @mislav in #4802
go-gh:
We've open sourced a small Go library called go-gh. Its goal is to make it easer for extension authors to take advantage of some gh features directly in Go code. Check out the repository to learn more or watch the precompiled extension demo.
New repo create interface:
The gh repo create command now has distinct usages for creating a repository from scratch and creating one from a local git repository.
Create a new repository on GitHub from scratch and clone it locally with
$ gh repo create myrepo --public --clone
Upload an existing local repository with
$ gh repo create myrepo --source=path/to/repo --public
Breaking Changes:
gh repo create will not behave differently inside a local git repository.
gh repo create will only prompt interactively when run with no arguments. Otherwise, all arguments should be passed explicitly.
For more information, see gh help repo create:

New in GitHub CLI 2.1.0 (Oct 15, 2021)

NEW FEATURES:
Add repo archive command by @pxrth9 & @meiji163 in #4410
Add support for precompiled extensions by @vilmibm in #4308 #4373
If an extension repository publishes Releases with uploaded binary assets named with a suffix formatted like {OS}-{ARCH} (e.g. linux-amd64), the matching binary will be downloaded and installed as the extension instead of cloning the code from the extension repository.
