Installation info: https://github.com/cli/cli#installation

Is in Spack, so we should wait for this term's Spack evaluation to complete.

There are precompiled Linux binaries available to install in your home if people need it immediately: see if they work on RHEL 7 on Myriad?

I couldn't work out how to install a .rpm package in home, but it gh is available on conda-forge so I managed to install it via creating conda environment in my home directory (although I did have to do a user install of conda too since the version installed in /shared/ucl/apps/miniconda is quite old).

(Get the .tar.gz not the .rpm)

This lets any support person perform authenticated actions on GitHub as you, because of the OAuth token it drops in plaintext in your home directory.

I'm not really sure that sounds like a good idea, and do we have an obligation to make people aware of it before they use it?
