Thank you for reporting!
- What is your OS? (If you used
brew install, I'm assuming it's likely macOS?) - Did the terminal where you ran
gh pr createshow any error messages or warnings around the time that Firefox tried to connect to the localhost server? - Are you using Docker or
sshanywhere where you rungh?
You can retry the operation by enabling verbose mode
DEBUG=oauth gh pr createwhich will print additional information during authentication. I don't know if this will help, but it's worth a try! See if there is anything that sticks out to you pleaseReacted by David Adam- What is your OS? (If you used
I'm on ubuntu and running into the same issue, all my development is done on a headless system and on my thin client where I have a browser I'm unable to install any software. And hence apparently unable to get started with the app. I guess I'll have to figure out if I can pipe in a manual access token and reverse the config format.
It's a really miserably bad experience 😢
Reacted by Thomas MeckelApparently one can manually create a config file
~/.config/gh/config.yml
and fill in a personal access token:$ cat ~/.config/gh/config.yml github.com: - user: ${github username} oauth_token: ${personal access token from https://github.com/settings/tokens}Hope others find this useful

I have the same issue on my old Ubuntu (14.04) with gh 0.9.0.

p.s. I think the work around should be in documentation if it's works, for headless machines at least.
