# X_GH_UNAVAILABLE

## Means

the GitHub CLI is not runnable from here

## Typical cause

`gh` is not installed or not on `PATH`. `x pr` and `x ci` shell out to it rather than embedding an HTTP client — no new dependency, and the user's existing auth

## Fix

`gh auth login` — install first from https://cli.github.com
