- GitHub CLI collects pseudonymous telemetry to improve product development by tracking feature usage and adoption.
- Users can review telemetry data in logging mode via environment variables or CLI config to inspect payloads before sending.
- Opt-out options are available through environment variables (GH_TELEMETRY=false or DO_NOT_TRACK=true) or CLI configuration.
- Telemetry data is sent to GitHub's internal analytics infrastructure, with details covered by the GitHub General Privacy Statement.
- Third-party extensions may collect their own telemetry independently of GitHub CLI's opt-out settings.
