NAME

SYNOPSIS

gh repo autolink create <keyPrefix> <urlTemplate> [flags]

DESCRIPTION

Create a new autolink reference for a repository.

The keyPrefix argument specifies the prefix that will generate a link when it is appended by certain characters.

The urlTemplate argument specifies the target URL that will be generated when the keyPrefix is found, which must contain <num> variable for the reference number.

By default, autolinks are alphanumeric with --numeric flag used to create a numeric autolink.

The <num> variable behavior differs depending on whether the autolink is alphanumeric or numeric:

	•		alphanumeric: matches A-Z (case insensitive), 0-9, and -
	•		numeric: matches 0-9

If the template contains multiple instances of <num>, only the first will be replaced.
