This removes sensitivity to the BROWSER environment variable in tests
and makes it easier to verify the URL that the browser was invoked with
without having to stub sub-processes.
When the update notifier is enabled and a new version was detected, show
a Homebrew upgrade notice if:
- the release was at least 24 hours ago; and
- the current `gh` binary is under the Homebrew prefix.
This adds support for using the GH_CONFIG_DIR environment variable to determine
where the config files are written, this is useful for cases where the homedir
is not writable.
Old message:
read-only token in GH_TOKEN cannot be modified
This message was vague and some users did not understand that this
refers to the value that is read from environment variables.
New message:
$ GH_TOKEN=123 ghd auth login -h github.com
The value of the GH_TOKEN environment variable is being used for authentication.
To have GitHub CLI store credentials instead, first clear the value from the environment.
When gh was built from source, the version number will look something
like this since it's taken from `git describe`:
v1.4.0-34-g{SHA}
When compared as semver against `v1.4.0`, the latter version is falsely
reported as newer. This is because the output of `git describe` wasn't
meant to be interpreted as semver.
The solution is to translate the `git describe` string to faux-semver so
it can be safely compared with the version reported from the server.
Fixes this case:
A new release of gh is available: v1.4.0-41-g2f9e4cb1 → v1.4.0
https://github.com/cli/cli/releases/tag/v1.4.0
Since GitHub CLI now offers to authenticate your Git as well, the token
we request here will be used for git pushes. Since we do anticipate our
users making edits to their GitHub Actions workflow files, we want them
to be able to push their changes, and this scope allows that.
