Authentication

Learn how to authenticate with the Platform CLI using your access token.

Generate Access Token

Access Token Requirements

To use the Platform CLI commands, you'll need to generate a personal access token:

1. Visit GitLab Personal Access Tokens
2. Create a token with the following scopes:
   • read_api
   • read_repository
   • write_repository

Configure Authentication

Once you have your access token, authenticate with the CLI using:

platform access -t "<your_token>"

Token Management

• Keep your access token secure and don't share it
• The token is stored locally for subsequent CLI operations
• You can update your token anytime by running the access command again
