description This skill should be used when the user asks "how to setup GitHub CLI", "configure gh", "gh auth not working", "GitHub CLI connection failed", "gh CLI error", or needs help with GitHub authentication.

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
