Connect Your GitHub Account

Connect GitHub in Settings to use GitHub CLI for repository and pull-request access from your TermSquad computer. This connection belongs to the selected computer’s working environment.

Connect the account

1. Select a running computer.
2. Open Settings and find GitHub.
3. Choose Connect.
4. Wait for any required installation.
5. Follow the GitHub authorization instructions in the terminal.
6. Authorize the intended account and return to TermSquad.
7. Wait for the connection result.

Keep the login flow open until it finishes. If the machine is offline or needs a runtime update, the section explains why connection is unavailable.

Verify repository access

In the agent terminal, run:

gh auth status

Check the reported account. GitHub documents this command in its authentication status reference. Do not add options that print the token when sharing diagnostic output.

Authentication does not grant access to every repository. Private organization repositories may require additional organization authorization or membership.

What does this connection include?

It supports GitHub workflows using gh and Git. It does not automatically clone your projects, create a pull request, or include GitHub Copilot access.

A login on your laptop or another computer is separate from this remote login. Connect each computer where you need access.

Next, clone a repository or commit changes and create a pull request. For the AI tool, use Set Up GitHub Copilot.
