Mint a scoped git token for one repository

Updated View as MarkdownOpen in ChatGPTOpen in Claude

Mints a token bound to this repository, a scope (read or write), your principal and an expiry. It is shown once. Hand it to a git credential helper or an Authorization header; never put it in a remote URL or a file in the working copy. Revoke it with overlane repo token revoke.

Usage

overlane repo token repo [--scope read|write] [--ttl SECONDS] [--dry-run]

Arguments

Argument Required Description
repo yes The repository name or ID

Flags

--scope one of read, write no What the token may do (default: write)
--ttl string no Lifetime in seconds, 60 to 86400 (default 3600)
--dry-run boolean no Print the requests and file changes this command would make, then stop. Needs no credentials.

Examples

overlane repo token app --scope read
overlane repo token app --scope write --ttl 600 --dry-run

Behavior

  • Effect: write (changes local or hosted state).
  • Needs credentials: yes. Uses the network: yes.
  • Supports --dry-run: yes. Accepts --force: no.
