Use when GitHub authentication is missing, broken, or needed before repository, issue, pull request, or CI work.
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
# GitHub Auth ## Overview Choose the least surprising GitHub auth path for the current machine, then verify it before doing repository work. ## Workflow 1. Check what is installed: ```bash git --version gh --version 2>/dev/null || true gh auth status 2>/dev/null || true ``` 2. Prefer an already-authenticated `gh` session when available. 3. If `gh` is not authenticated, ask the user to complete `gh auth login`. 4. If `gh` is unavailable, use normal `git` credentials or SSH. 5. Configure commit identity only when needed: ```bash git config --global user.name "Your Name" git config --global user.email "you@example.com" ``` 6. Verify with a read-only command before pushing: ```bash git ls-remote origin ``` ## Safety - Never paste tokens into committed files. - Prefer credential helpers or `gh auth login` over token-in-remote URLs. - Do not print full secrets in summaries, logs, screenshots, or pull requests.

How to install
mdr add martin-hausleitner/martins-awesome-skills/github-auth@sha256:1862c58714f99496The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260514.27df22e, 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.
