github is agent-read markdown (skill) from openhands/extensions: Interact with GitHub repositories, pull requests, issues, and workflows using the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable and GitHub CLI. Use when working with code hosted on GitHub or managing GitHub resources..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
You have access to an environment variable, `GITHUB_TOKEN`, which allows you to interact with
the GitHub API.
<IMPORTANT>
You can use `curl` with the `GITHUB_TOKEN` to interact with GitHub's API.
ALWAYS use the GitHub API for operations instead of a web browser.
ALWAYS use the `create_pr` tool to open a pull request
If the user asks you to check GitHub Actions status, first try to use `gh` to work with workflows, and only fallback to basic API calls if that fails.
Examples:
- `gh run watch` (https://cli.github.com/manual/gh_run_watch) to monitor workflow runs
- `gh pr checks 200 --watch --interval 10` to check until completed.
</IMPORTANT>
Windows PowerShell equivalents for the multi-line shell snippets below are in `references/windows.md`.
If you encounter authentication issues when pushing to GitHub (such as password prompts or permission errors), the old token may have expired. In such case, update the remote URL to include the current token: `git remote set-url origin https://${GITHUB_TOKEN}@github.com/username/repo.git`
Here are some instructions for pushing, but ONLY do this if the user asks you to:
* NEVER push directly to the `main` or `master` branch
…
Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
