Authentication (Private Repos & Rate Limits)

GitHub limits unauthenticated requests to 60/hour. Logging in raises this to 5,000 and grants access to private repositories.

githrun login ghp_YourPersonalAccessToken...

The token is stored securely in ~/.githrun/config.json.

Bookmarks

Stop copy-pasting long URLs — save them once, run them anywhere.

# Add a bookmark
githrun bookmark add clean-db https://github.com/user/repo/blob/main/utils/cleanup.py

# Run a bookmark
githrun run clean-db

# List bookmarks
githrun bookmark list

Install as a Tool

Turn a remote Python script into a command you can run from anywhere in your terminal.

githrun install https://github.com/user/repo/blob/main/my-tool.py --name mytool

Windows — creates a .bat file in ~/.githrun/bin
Linux/Mac — creates an executable shim in ~/.githrun/bin

You must add ~/.githrun/bin to your system PATH for installed tools to be runnable directly.
