Contents
Description
This command configures git to use GitHub CLI as a credential helper. For more information on git
credential helpers please reference: https://git-scm.com/docs/gitcredentials.
By default, GitHub CLI will be set as the credential helper for all authenticated hosts. If there is no
authenticated hosts the command fails with an error.
Alternatively, use the --hostname flag to specify a single host to be configured. If the host is not
authenticated with, the command fails with an error.

# Configure git to use GitHub CLI as the credential helper for all authenticated hosts

$ gh auth setup-git --hostname enterprise.internal
