We’ve introduced new accessibility updates to the GitHub CLI, designed to make terminal workflows more inclusive for all developers. These improvements focus on:

  • Speech synthesis screen reader support: Enhanced prompting and progress indicators now provide better context and clarity for users relying on screen readers.
  • Color and contrast customization: Optimized color palettes ensure compatibility with terminal preferences, maintaining readability for users with low vision or colorblindness. Alignment with ANSI 4-bit color standards allows users to tailor their color usage to their needs.

These updates are available in public preview. To start using these features, run gh a11y.
