GitHub/Auth

• GitHub Auth

  • Umbrella for how this garden documents authenticating to GitHub: personal access tokens, OAuth scopes used by GitHub/CLI, and related how-tos.

  • Personal access tokens

    • GitHub/Auth/Personal — classic PAT (deprecated in favor of fine-grained)
    • GitHub/Auth/Personal/Fine-Grained — fine-grained PAT (repository + permission checkboxes; not the same strings as OAuth scopes)

  • OAuth scopes

    • GitHub/Auth/OAuth — what OAuth scopes are, normalization, inspection
    • GitHub/Auth/OAuth/Scope — catalog of scope names (workflow, repo:status, …) used by gh auth refresh -s

  • How-tos

    • GitHub/CLI/How to create a Fine Grained Personal Access Token — create a fine-grained PAT (no gh subcommand today)
