gh-auth:tldr:65465
This command is used to authenticate with GitHub (gh) using a token. Here is the explanation of each part:
-
echo ${your_token}
: This portion retrieves the value of the variableyour_token
and prints it to the standard output. It assumes thatyour_token
is a variable containing the GitHub token you want to use for authentication. -
|
: This is a pipe symbol used to redirect the output of the "echo" command to the input of the next command. -
gh auth login --with-token
: This is the GitHub CLI command to authenticate with GitHub using a token. The--with-token
flag specifies that the authentication should be done using a token instead of a username/password combination.
By combining these parts, the command takes the value of the your_token
variable, passes it as input to the gh auth login --with-token
command, and thus authenticates with GitHub using the provided token.
