mise token github

• Usage: mise token github [FLAGS] [HOST]
• Effect: read-only
• Source code: src/cli/token/github.rs

Show the GitHub token mise uses for a host

Shows the token and where it came from, to debug authentication. The token is masked unless you pass --unmask or --raw.

Arguments

• [HOST] — GitHub hostname

  Default: github.com

Flags

• --oauth — Use only native GitHub OAuth (a cached token, a refresh, or the device-code flow), ignoring other token sources
• --raw — Print only the token, unmasked, for use in scripts
• --refresh — With --oauth, get a new OAuth token even if the cached one has not expired, through the refresh-token grant or a new device-code flow. Use it after changing the GitHub App's installations or permissions: cached tokens keep their original access until they expire.
• --unmask — Show the full unmasked token
• -h --help — Print help

Examples

Show the token for github.com

mise token github
github.com: ghp_…xxxx (source: GITHUB_TOKEN)

Show the whole token

mise token github --unmask
github.com: ghp_xxxxxxxxxxxx (source: GITHUB_TOKEN)

Check a GitHub Enterprise host

github.mycompany.com: (none)

Get a new token through native GitHub OAuth

mise token github --oauth --refresh
github.com: gho_…xxxx (source: GitHub OAuth)
