# Upload and download GitHub user-attachments (gh-attach) GitHub has **no public API** for user-attachments. The web UI uses an internal endpoint that mints `github.com/user-attachments` URLs whose visibility follows the repository they belong to. [`gh-attach`](https://github.com/sudosubin/gh-attach) (MIT, sudosubin) replicates that drag-and-drop flow as a `gh` CLI extension, so an agent can upload a local file from the terminal, get a URL back, and later download an attachment URL to a file. ## Overview This skill drives `gh-attach` to turn a local file (screenshot, image, PDF, zip, log, or video) into a hosted GitHub `user-attachments` URL, then embeds that URL into a pull request, issue, or comment. It also downloads an existing attachment URL back to a local file. GitHub auto-renders the URL as an image, video, or file wherever it is pasted, and the URL inherits the repository's visibility, so a private-repo upload stays private. It works against GitHub Cloud and GitHub Enterprise Server. ## When to Use This Skill Use this skill when asked to: - "Attach a screenshot to the PR" or "add an image to the PR description" - "Attach this file (PDF, zip, log, video) to the issue or com
