gh auth

Authenticate with a GitHub host. More information: https://cli.github.com/manual/gh_auth.

• Log in with interactive prompt:

gh auth login

• Log in with a token from stdin (created in https://github.com/settings/tokens):

echo {{your_token}} | gh auth login --with-token

• Check if you are logged in:

gh auth status

• Log out:

gh auth logout

• Log in with a specific GitHub Enterprise Server:

gh auth login --hostname {{github.example.com}}

• Refresh the session to ensure authentication credentials have the correct minimum scopes (removes additional scopes requested previously):

gh auth refresh

• Expand the permission scopes:

gh auth refresh --scopes {{repo,admin:repo_hook,admin:org,admin:public_key,admin:org_hook,...}}
