@williammartin The latest version available on the apt repository is v2.49.0 (and not this or the previous one, v2.49.1). Is there a reason for this?

[williammartin]

Sounds suspicious!

[williammartin]

Looks correct to me, but I don't use linux much:

What are you seeing? Have you apt updated?

[babakks]

Yeah, I did apt update. I think maybe that's because you already have installed the latest version's .deb file, maybe manually (let me know if it's not the case). When I run the gh apt show -a gh I get this:

Description: GitHub CLI, GitHub’s official command line tool
 GitHub CLI "gh" is GitHub on the command line.  It brings pull requests,
 issues, and other GitHub concepts to the terminal next to where you are
 already working with git and your code.
 .
 GitHub CLI is available for repositories hosted on GitHub.com and GitHub
 Enterprise Server 2.20+, and to install on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
 .
 Comparison with hub:
 .
 For many years, hub (https://github.com/github/hub) was the unofficial
 GitHub CLI tool.  gh is a new project that helps us explore what an
 official GitHub CLI tool can look like with a fundamentally different
 design.  While both tools bring GitHub to the terminal, hub behaves as a
 proxy to git, and gh is a standalone tool.  Check out the more detailed
 explanation at https://github.com/cli/cli/blob/trunk/docs/gh-vs-hub.md
 to learn more.

@williammartin Sorry. It seems I had already installed it without using apt. So, that's why I (and you) could see it in the apt show result. The only published release on the apt repository is 2.4.0+dfsg1-2.

It seems gh is no longer released on apt repos.

[williammartin]

Ah, that makes sense. I'm not sure who owns that and when they decide to update it. Our installation instructions have people installing from our repository.

[williammartin]

Some other ubuntu releases seem more up to date https://packages.ubuntu.com/oracular/gh

[babakks]

Actually, Oracular is not officially released since it's the next release, 24.10.

[williammartin]

Fine then https://packages.ubuntu.com/noble/gh 🤣
