GitHub CLI 2.26.0

gh 2.26.0

Important: credentials now stored securely by default

When running gh auth login, your credentials will now be stored in your operating system's credential storage instead of directly on disk. In other words, --secure-storage is now default behavior. We've added a new flag, --insecure-storage, to opt into the old insecure behavior in case you need to debug an issue with credential storage.

As before, to take advantage of credential storage, please re-run gh auth login.

For more context, you can read the v2.24.0 release notes
