## Features

- Cross-platform support:
- macOS: Uses Keychain Access
- Windows: Uses Credential Manager
- Linux: Uses libsecret
- Secure token retrieval
- Token validation
- Comprehensive error handling
- Logging support
- Secure token retrieval with validation
- Comprehensive exception hierarchy for precise error handling
- Structured logging support
- Token format validation (supports both personal and fine-grained tokens)
- Robust credential parsing and sanitization

## Prerequisites

### All Platforms

- Python 3.6 or higher
- Python 3.9 or higher
- Git (with credentials configured)

## Usage

```python
from githubauthlib import get_github_token, GitHubAuthError
from githubauthlib import (
get_github_token,
GitHubAuthError,
TokenNotFoundError,
InvalidTokenError,
PlatformNotSupportedError,
CredentialHelperError
)

try:
token = get_github_token()
if token:
print("Token retrieved successfully!")
else:
print("No token found in system keychain")
print("Token retrieved successfully!")
print(f"Token: {token[:10]}...") # Show first 10 chars only
except TokenNotFoundError:
print("No GitHub token found in system keychain")
except InvalidTokenError:
print("Invalid token format detected")
except PlatformNotSupportedError:
print("Current platform is not supported")
except CredentialHelperError:
print("Failed to access system credential store")
except GitHubAuthError as e:

For development, you may want to add the package directory to your PYTHONPATH. See [AUXILIARY.md](AUXILIARY.md) for detailed instructions.

## Breaking Changes in v2.0.0

⚠️ **Important**: Version 2.0.0 introduces breaking changes:

- `get_github_token()` now raises specific exceptions instead of returning `None`
- All error handling now uses structured logging instead of print statements
- Token validation is now strict and validates format
- Python 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8 support has been removed (EOL)

### Migration Guide

**Before (v1.x.x):**

```python
token = get_github_token()
if token:
print("Success!")
else:
print("Failed!")
```

**After (v2.0.0):**

```python
try:
token = get_github_token()
print("Success!")
except TokenNotFoundError:
print("No token found!")
except GitHubAuthError as e:
print(f"Error: {e}")
```

## Troubleshooting

1. **Token Not Found**
- Verify Git credentials are properly configured
- Check system keychain for GitHub credentials
- Handle `TokenNotFoundError` exception

2. **Permission Issues**
- Ensure proper system keychain access
- Verify Python has required permissions
- Handle `CredentialHelperError` exception

3. **Linux Issues**
- Confirm libsecret-tools is installed
- Check D-Bus session is running
- Handle `PlatformNotSupportedError` exception

4. **Invalid Token Format**
- Verify token starts with `ghp_` or `github_pat_`
- Handle `InvalidTokenError` exception
