GitHub
gh, HTTPS clone without a key, the server’s key registered on your account.
- Module
- tool.github
- Category
- Tools
What it installs
- gh from GitHub’s own repository, signed in with your token, which travels on standard input and appears in no journal.
- The git credential helper that turns an HTTPS clone into a clone needing no key at all.
- A key of the server’s own, registered on your account, for the operations that want SSH.
What it asks you for
- Nothing, once your GitHub account is connected. The token is given once, in the app, and kept in your computer’s keychain; each server you install this on takes it from there, over the SSH session, into a file only root can read.
Good to know
Uninstalling takes back gh and the token. The server’s SSH key and the key registered on your account outlive the module: they are yours, and other hosts use them.
