devbox setup-github - Namespace Documentation

Configure GitHub CLI and Git authentication on a Devbox using the token from your local GitHub CLI. The command runs gh auth token locally, activates the selected Devbox if necessary, passes the token to gh auth login --with-token on the Devbox, and runs gh auth setup-git. Install gh and authenticate locally before running it.
