Engineering Elixir Applications B6.0: Suggestion on Github CLI token

@elliefairholm and @Gilacost

On PDF p. 29 “Configuring the GitHub CLI” you have the reader run gh auth login. My development box is in the cloud, so I couldn’t auth in the browser; I had to choose the token option. That sent me to the Github UI to add the “personal access token” — but I had to guess at which scopes would be needed.

Then later on PDF p. 42 “Authentication for the GitHub API” you have the reader do the token setup, and the required list of scopes is provided.

So a suggestion: I’m wondering if either:

  1. You could defer running gh auth login until that later step, or
  2. You could add a note in the earlier step in “Configuring the GItHub CLI” as to what scopes will be needed if you have to use a token at that point.

Thanks!
