A Raycast extension for GitHub

Raycast GitHub

This is a custom Raycast extension I've built for myself for GitHub.

Installation

For now, you'll need to clone the repository and install it from within Raycast.

git clone https://github.com/jclem/raycast-github
cd raycast-github
npm install
npm run build

Then, from within Raycast with developer mode enabled, import the extension.

Personal Access Token (PAT)

When attempting to execute the first command from this extension, you'll be prompted to enter a Personal Access Token (PAT). You can generate a PAT on GitHub, by going to:

User settings ➡️ Developer settings ➡️ Personal access tokens ➡️ Generate new token https://github.com/settings/tokens

1. Add a description to the "Note" field, e.g. "Raycast GitHub"

2. Select the following scopes from the list:

• repo
• codespace

Generate the token and copy and paste it into the Raycast input.
