The need for this went away as they implemented gh auth login. I moved the following words from using github to here. It should be marked deprecated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
In March 2024, I had a look at github’s documentation again and came across among other pages, the CLI aka gh<\/a> and how to install it on Debiab\/Unbuntu<\/a>. See also, <\/p>\n\n\n\n We need to work out how to use gh auth login<\/em>. This is simple, its default mode is to boot a web browser, generate a one time token and ise the web page to authenticate. Cool!<\/p>\n\n\n\n This section was written when they first canned the CLI login and some of it is based on the need to install this on a Raspberry Pi which was not their first priority. I need to QA it to see how much of it is still correct and relevant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So do do it in batch it seems you need the Git Credential Manager<\/p>\n\n\n\n I was trying to make a pull on a pi, and was told I had to stash<\/a> the build. I need to take some care on pulling the repo’s from github, it gets quite tricky although a correspondent on the pi forums recommends<\/a> using ssh protocol.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The need for this went away as they implemented gh auth login.
