# Gitea CLI
[gt](https://gitea.com/gitea/cli) is the official command line client for Gitea. It works
with repositories, issues, pull requests, releases, Actions and the other resources of a
Gitea instance, from a terminal or a script.
:::info Development version
These pages describe builds from the `main` branch of gitea/cli.
:::
gt needs Gitea 28 or later, and Git for the commands that clone, check out or push.
## Getting started
1. [Install gt](installation.md).
2. [Log in](authentication.md):
```bash
gt auth login
```
3. Run commands in a clone of a repository on that instance, or select one with `--repo`:
```bash
gt issue list --label bug
gt pr checkout 13
gt issue view 42 --repo gitea.com/gitea/cli
```
`gt doctor` checks your setup and suggests a fix for each problem it finds.
Every command documents itself with `--help`. `gt help environment`, `gt help formatting`
and `gt help exit-codes` cover global flags and environment variables, JSON output, and
exit codes.
