- CLI that mints short-lived (about eight-hour) GitHub App user access tokens through the device authorization flow, stores them in the OS secret manager, and prints or injects them for tools such as GitHub/CLI (
GH_TOKEN). - Intended for interactive local development (not CI): only a GitHub App client ID is required in config—no client secret or app private key for ordinary use.
- See mise/Tool/GitHub Token and mise/Tool/GitHub Token/Native GitHub OAuth for how
ghtkn fits mise’s GitHub token stack (including credential_command and mise’s own experimental native OAuth).
