# gt-auth-status(1)

Show the accounts gt can use

## NAME

gt-auth-status - Show the accounts gt can use

## SYNOPSIS

**gt auth status \[flags\]**

## DESCRIPTION

Show the accounts gt can use on each instance, the active one, and how they authenticate. A GITEA\_TOKEN replaces the active account of its instance.
