Auth Login

ghqc auth login logs in to a GitHub host and can store the resulting token in the local ghqc auth store.

ghqc auth login [TOKEN]

Behavior

Behavior depends on how authentication is provided:

• If TOKEN is passed directly, ghqc validates it and stores it immediately.
• If gh is available, ghqc runs gh auth login and then imports the resulting token into the local auth store.
• If gh is not available, or if you pass --skip-gh, ghqc opens the personal access token page for the selected host and prompts for a token interactively.

Options

Flag	Description
--host	GitHub host to use, such as github.com or ghe.example.com.
--skip-gh	Skip using the gh CLI even when it is installed, and go directly to the manual token flow.
--no-store	Do not import the token into the local ghqc auth store after a successful gh auth login.

Examples

ghqc auth login

ghqc auth login --host ghe.example.com

ghqc auth login ghp_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

ghqc auth login --no-store

ghqc auth login --skip-gh

Notes

• Host resolution uses --host first, then the current repository remote.
• --skip-gh is useful when you want to avoid shelling out to GitHub CLI and enter or paste the token yourself.
• --no-store only affects the gh auth login flow.
• If you want to inspect the result afterward, run ghqc auth status.
