Logging In

If you aren’t automatically prompted to log in:

• brew install gh
• gh auth login

Branches > Branch Protection Rules

• Require branches to be up to date before merging (can be a lot of reruns when lots of PRs open, and run up CI minutes)

Permissions

git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey)

This happens when the SSH key is rejected. To confirm this, run:

$ ssh -T git@github.com
