Installing GitHub CLI on Ubuntu

I've been spending a bit more time in the terminal lately, specifically getting GitHub CLI up and running on my Ubuntu machine for some recent commit and pull request work. After a quick check of the documentation, I opted for the official Debian package. The documentation clearly advises against the community-distributed versions, noting that as of November 2025, versions 2.45.x and 2.46.x are "broken due to deprecated GitHub APIs". This was a good reminder to always verify the recommended installation paths. The process itself was straightforward, just a few apt commands, and I was good to go. It makes navigating repositories and pull requests so much smoother without ever leaving the command line. This allows me to use the gh command to publish my blog posts to my GitHub Pages site without ever leaving the terminal.
