+        .SYNOPSIS
+        Authenticates to GitHub CLI using a secure token from the provided context.
+
+        .DESCRIPTION
+        This function takes an input context containing authentication details and logs into GitHub CLI (`gh auth login`).
+        It extracts the token from the provided context and passes it securely to the authentication command.
+        If authentication fails, a warning is displayed, and `LASTEXITCODE` is reset to `0`.
+
+        .EXAMPLE
+        $context = Connect-GitHubAccount
+        $context | Connect-GitHubCli
+
+        Output:
+        ```powershell
+        (No output unless an error occurs)
+        ```
+
+        Logs into GitHub CLI using the provided authentication token and hostname from the context.
+
+        .OUTPUTS
+        void
+
+        .NOTES
+        The function does not return any output. It logs into GitHub CLI using the provided context.
