• How to create a GitHub/Auth/Personal with Fine-Grained permissions

  • there isn't currently a command to create Fine-Grained Personal Access Tokens (PATs) through the GitHub CLI #gh ... The closest authentication-related commands available are:- gh auth login - Which handles basic authentication and creates GitHub/Auth/Personal/Classic tokens
    • GitHub/CLI/gh/auth/token gh auth token - Which displays existing tokens
    • GitHub/CLI/gh/auth/refresh gh auth refresh - Which can modify scopes of existing tokens
  • To create a Fine-Grained PAT, you'll need to:- Visit GitHub's website directly: https://github.com/settings/tokens?type=beta
  • Or use the GitHub API endpoints for token management

    If you need to use a Fine-Grained PAT with the GitHub CLI, you can create it on the website first and then use it by:
    

  • Setting GitHub/CLI/EnvVar/GH_TOKEN

    • export GH_TOKEN=your_fine_grained_pat

  • Or using it during login - GitHub/CLI/gh/auth/login

    • gh auth login --with-token < pat_file.txt
