@copilot Can we automate it with gh CLI? If yes, we can install it on-demand inside DDEV and help the user to accomplish this!

Yes! Added gh CLI automation in commit 82479da.
The command now:
- Detects if
ghCLI is available - Offers to automatically set up GitHub Secrets (TERMINUS_TOKEN, PANTHEON_DEPLOY_KEY, GH_TOKEN) and Variables (PANTHEON_GIT_URL)
- Falls back to manual instructions if gh CLI is not available or user declines
The gh CLI can be installed on-demand in DDEV, and users will be prompted to confirm before any secrets are set.
- Fix undefined $organization variable in BootstrapTrait (should be $github_organization) - Remove unused parameters from deployConfigAutodeploy function - Update docblock to reflect actual function behavior - Remove misleading documentation about branch parameters in README Co-authored-by: AronNovak <114076+AronNovak@users.noreply.github.com>

@copilot This is not enough. We are inside DDEV, we can sudo and install gh if it's missing.

Done in commit 9dca072. The command now automatically installs gh CLI using sudo if it's not found in the DDEV environment. Installation uses apt with quiet flags to minimize output noise. If installation fails, it falls back to manual instructions.
- Automatically install gh CLI using apt if not found - Use sudo to install packages in DDEV environment - Add quiet flags to apt commands to reduce output noise - Fall back to manual instructions if installation fails - Ensure remaining steps (SSH key setup) always show - Update README to reflect automatic installation Co-authored-by: AronNovak <114076+AronNovak@users.noreply.github.com>

This (gh check and init) should be in a helper function, to keep deployConfigAutodeploy more readable. refactor accordingly

Following the Travis CI → GitHub Actions migration in #952, the
bootstrap:projectanddeploy:config-autodeploycommands still contained Travis CI-specific logic and outdated instructions.Changes

$githubProjectvariable in DeploymentTraitContext
The bootstrap process already correctly updates
DeploymentTrait.phpline 107-110 with the new project's GitHub org/name. GitHub Actions workflows in.github/workflows/are already functional and use GitHub's native Secrets/Variables instead of encrypted files.Users now have a completely automated setup experience in DDEV - gh CLI is automatically installed if missing, and GitHub Secrets/Variables can be configured with a single confirmation prompt. Manual instructions are still provided as a fallback if needed.
