Enable GitHub search

GitHub Code Search requires authentication. Moji does not register the GitHub provider until a token or custom endpoint is available.

Use an environment variable

export GITHUB_TOKEN=github_pat_your_token
moji "Inter" --provider github

The environment variable takes precedence over github_token in the config file.

Read a token from standard input

Use --token-stdin when a secret manager or another process supplies the token:

printf '%s' "$TOKEN_FROM_SECRET_MANAGER" |
  moji "Inter" --provider github --token-stdin --json

Moji intentionally has no inline --token flag because command-line arguments can be recorded in shell history and process listings.

Store a token in the config file

Open the config:

moji config

Set:

github_token: github_pat_your_token

Moji creates the config with mode 0600. moji config show always redacts the stored value.

Recover from authentication failures

If Moji reports that GitHub search is not configured:

1. confirm that GITHUB_TOKEN is exported in the same shell;
2. run moji config show and confirm that GitHubToken is [redacted];
3. confirm that the token can read public repositories; and
4. retry with --provider getfonts to keep working without GitHub.
