The command gh auth refresh --scopes ${repo,admin:repo_hook,admin:org,admin:public_key,admin:org_hook,---}
is used in the GitHub CLI (Command Line Interface) to refresh your authentication token and update the access scopes of the token.
Here's a breakdown of the command and its components:
gh auth
is the command used to handle GitHub authentication.refresh
is a subcommand that refreshes the existing authentication token.--scopes
is an option that specifies the access scopes for the token.
The ${repo,admin:repo_hook,admin:org,admin:public_key,admin:org_hook,---}
part is a list of access scopes. Scopes define the level of access and privileges the token has when interacting with GitHub repositories and organizations.
In this specific example, the scopes include:
repo
: Grants access to repositories.admin:repo_hook
: Allows managing repository hooks.admin:org
: Provides administrative access to organizations.admin:public_key
: Allows management of public keys.admin:org_hook
: Allows managing organization hooks.---
or any other scopes you may add.
By refreshing the authentication token with these updated scopes, you ensure that the token has the required access privileges to perform specific actions on your repositories and organizations when using the GitHub CLI.
