Description
This is a duplicate of https://github.com/cli/cli/issues/1074. I'm creating it here since the implementation should probably belong here.
The gh cli now supports the environment variable GITHUB_TOKEN for authentication. This extension could expose the GITHUB_TOKEN to the integrated terminal in order to automatically provide authentication for gh cli.
Original text:
VSCode now provides GitHub authentication for git even in its Terminal.
If gh had support for that too, we could have a seamless GitHub Authentication when using gh inside VSCode, which can mainly benefit vscode-dev-containers , Visual Studio Codespaces, and therefore, the upcoming GitHub Codespaces.

Start by reading the linked duplicate issue #1074 and the referenced VS Code GitHub authentication update. Inspect how this extension integrates with the integrated terminal; done means exposing GITHUB_TOKEN there so gh can authenticate automatically.
