Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported flow: install the module and ghauth, run ghauth, then try to use its token with ghnotis. Trace how ghnotis accepts authentication input and document the correct token invocation; done means the documented command runs without hanging.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I installed the module, and then installed ghauth. I ran ghauth, and got a { user: RichardLitt, token: <hash> } pair. When I tried to use the token in ghnotis, the script hung. What is the correct way to input my auth token?
