GitHub teams lack scriptable control over credential access
Organization administrators want to revoke access without depending on each user to act in a browser, while developers want to review connected apps and avoid long-lived credentials. The signals point to a gap in programmatic credential management and access review, especially in CLI and scripted workflows. An independent product could improve some workflows, but actions such as revoking every user-owned token or changing GitHub’s OAuth token lifetime may require platform support.
For gitHub organization administrators and security-conscious developers. Mentioned from Dec 2020 to Jan 2025 on GitHub and Stack Exchange.

This is really frustrating for any organization, we obviously can't rely on users to open up their browsers and check which tokens to revoke, we need to build this into scripts
I would like to be able to create and revoke personal access tokens from the CLI
