Fixes #11294

This commit changes <github.com> and <ghe.com> references to github.com and ghe.com so they are visible on the GitHub CLI marketing website.

GitHub Pages will render URLs with a protocol as clickable links, however hostnames are treated as HTML elements and not rendered.

Questions

  1. Is there a better way to ensure people understand the formatting conventions?

    Rather than people having to run across issues and PRs like Standardise markup for URLs in docs #8404, I wondered if there was an easier way to help maintainers and contributors figure out the right thing to do.

Demo

  • bin/gh api --help

    ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
      GH_TOKEN, GITHUB_TOKEN (in order of precedence): an authentication token for
      `github.com` API requests.
      
      GH_ENTERPRISE_TOKEN, GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_TOKEN (in order of precedence): an
      authentication token for API requests to GitHub Enterprise.
      
      GH_HOST: make the request to a GitHub host other than `github.com`.
    
  • bin/gh ext install --help

    Install a GitHub CLI extension from a GitHub or local repository.
    
    For GitHub repositories, the repository argument can be specified in
    `OWNER/REPO` format or as a full repository URL.
    The URL format is useful when the repository is not hosted on `github.com`.
    
  • bin/gh repo rename --help

    Rename a GitHub repository.
    
    `<new-name>` is the desired repository name without the owner.
    
    By default, the current repository is renamed. Otherwise, the repository specified
    with `--repo` is renamed.
    
    To transfer repository ownership to another user account or organization,
    you must follow additional steps on `github.com`.
    
  • bin/gh help environment

    `GH_TOKEN`, `GITHUB_TOKEN` (in order of precedence): an authentication token that will be used when
    a command targets either `github.com` or a subdomain of `ghe.com`. Setting this avoids being prompted to
    authenticate and takes precedence over previously stored credentials.
    
    `GH_ENTERPRISE_TOKEN`, `GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_TOKEN` (in order of precedence): an authentication
    token that will be used when a command targets a GitHub Enterprise Server host.
    
    `GH_HOST`: specify the GitHub hostname for commands where a hostname has not been provided, or
    cannot be inferred from the context of a local Git repository. If this host was previously
    authenticated with, the stored credentials will be used. Otherwise, setting `GH_TOKEN` or
    `GH_ENTERPRISE_TOKEN` is required, depending on the targeted host.
    
  • bin/gh search code --help

    Search within code in GitHub repositories.
    
    The search syntax is documented at:
    <https://docs.github.com/search-github/searching-on-github/searching-code>
    
    Note that these search results are powered by what is now a legacy GitHub code search engine.
    The results might not match what is seen on `github.com`, and new features like regex search
    are not yet available via the GitHub API.
    

This commit changes <github.com> and <ghe.com> references to `github.com` and `ghe.com` so they are visible on the GitHub CLI marketing website.

Pull Request Overview

This PR fixes hostname visibility issues in the GitHub CLI marketing website by converting angle bracket notation (<github.com>) to backtick notation (`github.com`) for hostnames in help documentation.

  • Updates documentation formatting to use backticks instead of angle brackets for hostnames
  • Ensures hostnames are properly rendered on GitHub Pages instead of being treated as HTML elements
  • Maintains consistent formatting across CLI help topics and command documentation

[nitpick] Consider extracting the backtick character to a constant since it's used as a formatting parameter in multiple places across the codebase to improve maintainability.

Copilot uses AI. Check for mistakes.

Outside of the hostnames previously fixed, I talked with @williammartin about what to do with the remaining references and the concern about the mixed format.

One suggestion for the error / test use case was to remove the extraneous text all together.

Wanting to avoid mixed formats of hostnames, I went with a suggestion from @williammartin to simply shorten the gh repo rename error message to remove the hostname.
