       gh extension exec <name> [args] [flags]

       You can use this command when the short name conflicts with a core gh
       command.


       All arguments after the extension name will be forwarded to the
       executable of the extension.

       NOTE: Specific commands may have additional exit codes. Refer to the
       command's help for more information.
