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
