Authentication

Autogit requires two forms of authentication: GitHub CLI for repository operations, and ModelRelay for AI features.

Prerequisites

GitHub CLI

GitHub CLI is required for Autogit to interact with GitHub:

# Install GitHub CLI
brew install gh

# Authenticate
gh auth login

ModelRelay Authentication

When you first use an AI feature, Autogit prompts for ModelRelay authentication:

1. A popup appears with a verification URL and code
2. Open the URL in your browser
3. Enter the code shown in Autogit
4. Authorize the application
5. Return to Autogit—you’re authenticated
