Use git credential fill
to securely store token
#778
Labels
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I use a git access token stored in git's credential store for both git commands (pull, push) and for CLI scripts which talk to the github API. My scripts can extract the creds via
git credential fill
, and it's stored in my OS's keychain instead of plain text.Describe the solution you'd like
some sort of configuration for
gh
so it can pull my access token fromgit credential fill
Describe alternatives you've considered
Additional context
This is how
git credential fill
works. Pipe a request in, it takes care of interactively prompting the user as needed, delegating to the OS-native credential helper. Then it writes a response to stdout.If node-gh wants to avoid conflicting with already-stored credentials, you could use a different form of URL. Or make this behavior an opt-in config flag so it doesn't affect everyone.
