Githubbing

Install and use GitHub CLI (gh) for authenticated GitHub operations.

1. Install

bash /path/to/githubbing/scripts/install-gh.sh

2. Configure Authentication

gh reads tokens from GH_TOKEN or GITHUB_TOKEN environment variables.

from configuring import get_env
import os

token = get_env("GH_TOKEN") or get_env("GITHUB_TOKEN")
if token:
    os.environ["GH_TOKEN"] = token

3. Verify

gh auth status

How to use it

Copy the folder
