# GitHub

Connects Kotharo to GitHub for source hosting. [All adapters](https://kotharo.com/docs/adapters/)

## What you need

- The `gh` command, from [GitHub CLI](https://github.com/cli/cli#installation).

## Connect

`/kotharo:setup` finds GitHub and takes you through these steps. To connect it by hand:

Install GitHub CLI. [Its install page](https://github.com/cli/cli#installation) covers other systems.

macOS:

```
brew install gh
```

Windows, in Git Bash:

```
winget install --id GitHub.cli --source winget
```

Linux:

```
brew install gh
```

## Sign in

Run gh auth login --hostname `<host>` and sign in to the GitHub host in the repo's origin.

To check you are signed in, run `gh auth status`.
