GitHub CLI Setup

Configure 

gh
CLI for GitHub access.

Check Current Status

gh auth status

Report one of these states:

  • gh
    is not authenticated and needs login
  • gh
    is authenticated, including the current username if available

Login Flow

If authentication is missing or broken, guide the user through:

gh auth login

Select: GitHub.com -> HTTPS -> Login with browser

Verify Authentication

gh auth status
gh api user --jq '.login'

Troubleshooting

If 

gh
commands fail:

  1. Check authentication - 
    gh auth status
  2. Re-login if needed - 
    gh auth login
  3. Check scopes - Ensure the token has repo access
  4. Refresh auth - 
    gh auth refresh
  5. Update gh - 
    brew upgrade gh
    or equivalent
