Installs and authenticates the GitHub CLI (gh) in a Claude.ai container, then runs gh commands against it. Use for "install gh", "gh auth", "create an issue or PR from the CLI", "gh is not authenticated", or any GitHub operation you want to issue as a gh command rather than a raw API call. This skill is the transport rather than the analysis. To understand what a repository does or contains, use exploring-codebases; to add a repo to the session, accessing-github-repos.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Githubbing
Install and use GitHub CLI (`gh`) for authenticated GitHub operations.
## 1. Install
```bash
bash /path/to/githubbing/scripts/install-gh.sh
```
## 2. Configure Authentication
`gh` reads tokens from `GH_TOKEN` or `GITHUB_TOKEN` environment variables.
```python
from configuring import get_env
import os
token = get_env("GH_TOKEN") or get_env("GITHUB_TOKEN")
if token:
os.environ["GH_TOKEN"] = token
```
## 3. Verify
```bash
gh auth status
```Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add oaustegard/claude-skills/githubbing@sha256:9c81e985206c07f8The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
