This PR addresses issue #2 which requested "SxAssociator from the Microsoft Store" - a request completely unrelated to the GitHub CLI tool. Rather than simply closing the inappropriate issue, this implementation proactively prevents similar confusion through clear documentation and guidance.
Problem
The original issue demonstrated that users may not understand the scope and purpose of the GitHub CLI repository, leading to inappropriate requests for external applications, Microsoft Store apps, or other unrelated software.
Solution
This PR implements several targeted improvements to clarify the repository's scope:
Enhanced README: Added a prominent notice at the top clearly stating this repository is specifically for the GitHub CLI (
gh) command-line toolUpdated Issue Template: Added a note in the feature request template to remind users about the repository's scope
New Issue Guidelines: Created comprehensive documentation (
docs/issue-guidelines.md) that provides:Improved .gitignore: Added entry to prevent accidental commits of built binaries
Impact
These changes will help:
The implementation follows the principle of minimal, surgical changes while addressing the root cause of the confusion demonstrated by the original issue.
Fixes #2.
