    • Short answer: pipe gh search repos → head -n 1 → awk '{print $1}' → ghq get.
    • bash

      gh search repos rulesync | head -n 1 | awk '{print $1}' | ghq get

    • Steps in the pipeline:
      • gh search repos <name> — queries GitHub and prints results, first column is OWNER/REPO
      • head -n 1 — takes the top result
      • awk '{print $1}' — extracts the first whitespace-delimited field (the OWNER/REPO slug); see awk/Q/How can I extract the first column?
      • ghq get — clones the repo under your ghq root
