Describe the feature or problem you’d like to solve

I am on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Focal Fossa. When I hit the command "sudo apt install gh", it says "E: Unable to locate package gh".
I tried searching for package on ubuntu distribution site, but the only packages that got listed are "ghc, ghc-doc, ghc-prof, ghdl etc." Help me, please.

Proposed solution

How will it benefit CLI and its users?

Additional context

Add any other context like screenshots or mockups are helpful, if applicable.

Did you try sudo apt update? And then re run sudo apt install gh

@imojha I use Ubuntu 20.04 and I had the same issue, I tried and ran these command three times the command.

sudo apt install gh

Because the installation stops multiple times, three in my case, after that...
