gh-auth: Log in with a specific GitHub Enterprise Server.
$ gh auth login --hostname ${github-example-com}
try on your machine
The command "gh auth login --hostname ${github-example-com}" is used to log in to GitHub through the GitHub CLI (Command-line Interface) tool.
- "gh auth login" is the command to initiate the authentication and login process for GitHub.
- "--hostname" is an option provided by the "gh" command that allows you to specify the hostname or domain associated with the GitHub instance you want to log in to.
- "${github-example-com}" is a placeholder used to represent a specific GitHub domain or hostname. In this example, you are expected to replace "${github-example-com}" with the actual domain, such as "github.com" or any other self-hosted GitHub instance domain.
By executing this command with the appropriate domain value, you will be prompted to enter your GitHub credentials (username and password or a Personal Access Token), which will authenticate and log you into the specified GitHub instance using the GitHub CLI.
