Authenticating
After installation of the CLI, you will need to authenticate your GitHub account. For authentication, you will have to follow few steps
gh auth login
You will have two options to authenticate, either use browser method or use authentication Token. I will suggest using Browser method as its quick and easy.
Next, you will be asked to choose git protocol, choose https or ssh as per your own convenience.
Voila!! You are all done with the setup!!
