gh authentication in azure pipeline

[speter04]

Hi Team,

Could you please help me to find out how we can authenticate gh auth login in azure devops pipeline?
I have seen the authentication method "gh auth login --with-token < mytoken.txt" , but this is not i wanted whether we can replace the mytocken.txt with a variable that has token or we can use the existing token in azure devops pipeline called System.AccessToken.
If we can use this tokens could you please share the syntax for that .
Thanks,

Hi, gh auth login --with-token is meant more as a command that you would run on your own personal machine to store a token and skip the interactive authentication. However, for automated jobs like those in Azure devops, it's more suitable to set environment variables GH_TOKEN or GITHUB_TOKEN with the value of your token. GitHub CLI will use the token from the environment over any other mode of authentication. See gh help environment

@mislav Thank you, I resolved the issue by setting up GITHUB_TOKEN
