mise/Tool/GitHub/Token

• GitHub Tokens | mise-en-place

  • Umbrella notes for mise Dev Tool stacks: rate limits, MISE_GITHUB_TOKEN / GITHUB_TOKEN precedence, github_tokens.toml, gh hosts.yml integration, credential_command (including Using ghtkn), native GitHub OAuth, git credential helpers, lockfiles, and CI.
  • Many CLIs (GitHub/CLI, package managers, MCP Servers) expect GH_TOKEN or GITHUB_TOKEN. With mise, binaries are often pinned via mise/Backend/aqua or other backends; how mise obtains a token for its own GitHub API calls follows the guide above and may differ from what a given child process uses unless you export or wrap commands.

    • mise/Tool/GitHub Token/Native GitHub OAuth — mise’s built-in experimental device-flow OAuth (doc anchor #native-github-oauth), distinct from gh hosts.yml tokens and from ghtkn via credential_command.
