GitHub

Work with issues, pull requests, manage workflows, search repositories and stay on top of notifications.

Configuring a Personal Access Token

You can use a personal access token instead of logging in through OAuth to authenticate your GitHub account:

The following link can be used as a shortcut to create your token: https://github.com/settings/tokens/new?description=Raycast&scopes=repo,read:org,read:user,project,notifications

Otherwise, you can manually create it:

1. Go to https://github.com/settings/tokens
2. Click "Generate new token" then "Generate new token (classic)
3. Add a "Note" for the token.
4. Select the required scopes:

• repo
• read:org
• read:user
• project
• notifications

5. Click "Generate token".
6. Copy the token in the "GitHub Token" field in the extension's preferences.

Commands Disabled by Default

For simplicity, some commands are disabled by default. To use them, you can enable them in the extension's settings. These include:

• Create Branch
• My Discussions
• Search Discussions

FAQ

Can I use my GitHub pull request or issue template?

Yes! Templates for pull requests and issues are supported as long as they are in the .github directory.

Why can't I see my GitHub organization?

Double-check that you have enabled the correct settings for your organizations on the GitHub Oauth page to ensure that Raycast is able to show you the data from those repos.
