no GitHub token found for {}

Error message

no GitHub token found for {}

What it means

`mise token github --raw` requires that a GitHub token actually exists for the requested --host; mise checked its token sources (e.g. GITHUB_TOKEN/GH_TOKEN-style env vars and `gh` CLI auth) and found none. Without --raw the same state just prints `host: (none)`, so the error is specific to --raw (and by extension piping --raw into another command).

Solutions

1. Export a token before the call: `export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_...` (or the enterprise variant for custom hosts) then rerun
2. Authenticate the gh CLI: `gh auth login` — mise reads its stored token
3. If you just want to inspect state, drop --raw: `mise token github` prints `(none)` instead of failing

Example fix

# before
$ mise token github --raw
# error: no GitHub token found for github.com

# after
$ export GITHUB_TOKEN="$MY_CI_TOKEN"
$ mise token github --raw

: "${GITHUB_TOKEN:?no GITHUB_TOKEN set — mise token github --raw would fail}"
mise token github --raw

token="$(mise token github --raw)" || { echo 'no GitHub token: export GITHUB_TOKEN or run gh auth login' >&2; exit 1; }

When it happens

Trigger: `mise token github --raw` with no token configured anywhere; `--raw --host github.example.com` where no enterprise token (GH_ENTERPRISE_TOKEN etc.) is set for that host.

Common situations: CI scripts consuming `mise token github --raw` before any credential step ran; using a custom GHE host without its enterprise token env var; fresh machine where `gh auth login` was never run.
