The newest gh CLI has added telemetry:
"As agentic adoption of GitHub CLI grows, our team needs visibility into how features are being used in practice."
Opt out with any of these:
export GH_TELEMETRY=false # any falsy value: 0, false, disabled
export DO_NOT_TRACK=true
gh config set telemetry disabled

@hugovk I so much hate when they do opt out things like this. I hope EU privacy laws will hit them hard in the face sooner or later

@hugovk it's funny how the more big tech collects data about their users, the less they care about their users wishes and needs.
