apply

Apply changes to GitHub. By default, requires interactive confirmation before proceeding.

gh infra apply [path...]

Path

One or more paths can be given. When multiple paths are provided, manifests from all paths are collected and applied together.

Argument	Example	Behavior
(none) or .	gh infra apply	All *.yaml / *.yml in the current directory
File	gh infra apply repos/my-cli.yaml	That file only
Directory	gh infra apply repos/	All *.yaml / *.yml directly under it (subdirectories are ignored)
Multiple	gh infra apply repos/ files/	Manifests from all listed paths combined

Overlapping paths (e.g., . and ./repos/) are rejected to prevent duplicate processing.

YAML files that are not gh-infra manifests are silently skipped. Use --fail-on-unknown to treat them as errors.

Flags

Flag	Description
-r, --repo <owner/repo>	Target a specific repository
--auto-approve	Skip confirmation prompt
--force-secrets	Re-set all secrets (even existing ones)
--fail-on-unknown	Error on YAML files with unknown Kind (default: silently skip)

Interactive Diff Viewer

After the plan is displayed, the confirmation prompt offers three options:

> Do you want to apply these changes? (y)es / (n)o / (d)iff

Press d to open a full-screen diff viewer before deciding:

Key	Action
↑/↓ or j/k	Select file
Tab	Toggle apply/skip for the selected file
d/u	Scroll diff pane
q/Esc	Return to confirmation

Each file defaults to apply. Use Tab to toggle a file to skip if you want to exclude it from the current run. Skipped files are shown dimmed in the viewer. The YAML manifest is not modified — this is a runtime-only decision.

When you return to the confirmation prompt, any skipped files are shown as a summary:

  Skipped files (this run only):
    go.mod

> Do you want to apply these changes? (y)es / (n)o / (d)iff
