gh auth

Authenticate with a GitHub host from the command-line.

• Log in with interactive prompt:

gh auth login

• Log in with a token from standard input (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 {write:org,read:public_key}
