GH-AUTH-REFRESH(1) GitHub CLI manual GH-AUTH-REFRESH(1) NAME gh-auth-refresh - Refresh stored authentication credentials SYNOPSIS gh auth refresh [flags] DESCRIPTION Expand or fix the permission scopes for stored credentials for active account. The --scopes flag accepts a comma separated list of scopes you want your gh credentials to have. If no scopes are provided, the command maintains previously added scopes. The --remove-scopes flag accepts a comma separated list of scopes you want to remove from your gh credentials. Scope removal is idempotent. The minimum set of scopes (repo, read:org, and gist) cannot be removed. The --reset-scopes flag resets the scopes for your gh credentials to the default set of scopes for your auth flow. If you have multiple accounts in gh auth status and want to refresh the credentials for an inactive account, you will have to use gh auth switch to that account first before using this command, and then switch back when you are done.
