<h1>Setting up gcli for use with an account</h1>
<p>Creating issues on Github requires an account which we need to
generate an authentication token for gcli.</p>
<p>Log into your GitHub account and click on your account icon in the top
right corner. Then choose the <code>Settings</code> option. Scroll down and
choose <code>Developer settings</code> on the bottom of the left column. Under
<code>Personal access tokens</code> choose <code>Tokens (classic)</code>.</p>
<p>Click on <code>Generate new token (classic)</code>.</p>
<p>Set a useful name such as <code>gcli</code> in the Note field, set the expiration
to <code>No expiration</code> and allow the following <code>Scopes</code>:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>repo</code></li>
<li><code>workflow</code></li>
<li><code>admin:public_key</code></li>
<li><code>gist</code></li>
</ul>
<p>Then create the token. It'll be printed in green. Do not share it!</p>
<p>Now we need to tell gcli about this new token. To do this, create
a configuration file for gcli - on Windows you need to do this from
the MSYS2 Shell:</p>
<pre><code>$ mkdir -p ${HOME}/.config/gcli
$ vi ${HOME}/.config/gcli/config
</code></pre>
<p>Obviously, you can choose any other editor of your choice. Put the
following into this file:</p>
<pre><code>defaults {
editor=vi
github-default-account=my-github-account
}
my-github-account {
token=<token-goes-here>
account=<account-name>
forge-type=github
}
</code></pre>
<p>Replace the <code><token-goes-here></code> with the previously generated token
and the <code><account></code> with your account name.</p>
<p>If you now run</p>
<pre><code>$ gcli -t github repos
</code></pre>
<p>you should get a list of your repos. If not, check again that you did
all the steps above correctly.</p>
