Include the codespace scope by default with gh auth login #6047
Description
Describe the feature or problem you’d like to solve
In order to make interacting with codespaces easier using the CLI, I'd like the scopes included in gh auth login to include the codespace scope by default, or alternatively, to have the gh auth login have an interactive flow where it prompts for the set of scopes that the user wants to login with.
This will prevent users from signing in with the default gh auth login, then trying to use the gh codespace commands only to realize they need to refresh the login to add a codespace scope with gh auth refresh -s codespace before retrying the gh codespace commands.
Proposed solution
gh auth loginincludes thecodespacescope by default ORgh auth loginprompts the user for the set of scopes that they would like to include as part of the initial login.
How will it benefit CLI and its users? Less friction when setting up gh on a new machine.
Current experience having to do the auth flow twice when selecting the defaults:
~ » gh codespace list
To get started with GitHub CLI, please run: gh auth login
Alternatively, populate the GH_TOKEN environment variable with a GitHub API authentication token.
