This is worth it just for `gh repo create`

I'd been using `hub create` for several years now...

I'll admit that the only time I heard of the GitHub CLI was last week when I thought to myself "it's really annoying going to the website every time I just want to push a new repo"

I use the older `hub` for only one command, but it's not that one! Instead, I use it for opening a PR from the command line. Since my work generally consists of making feature branches and PR'ing them, I use `hub pull-request` sometimes multiple times a day. Huge time saver.

Ah, but now you can `gh pr create` instead! Saves four keystrokes.

But by the way, `hub browse` and `hub sync` are handy too.

It's all the same to me if it works, it's easy to switch the one command I use, I'll probably switch to `gh pr create`, since it appears to be the more maintained package. `hub pull-request` does a few things that annoy me or that seem buggy, maybe I'll compare to `pr`.

I never did use `hub` as a "wrapper" for `git`, I've always typed `hub pull-request`. I never liked the wrapper idea. So I approve of `gh` abandoning it.

agreed
