Summary
gh's stored login can expire independently of the Git PATs, leaving git push working while gh API calls 401. This documents the fix and wires it in: gh config lives in the gitignored gh/ directory, GH_CONFIG_DIR is exported in bashrc so every shell (including non-interactive agent shells) resolves the same login, and scripts/gh-auth-refresh.sh re-feeds the PAT from a Git credential store into gh auth login --with-token without displaying it.
Test Plan
sh scripts/gh-auth-refresh.sh— prints "Logged in to github.com account akan72"echo $GH_CONFIG_DIR— prints /Users/ak/dotfiles/ghgh api user --jq .login— prints akan72
