gt-auth-status(1)

gt-auth-status1

Show the accounts gt can use

Usage

gt auth status [flags]

Overview

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. Fails with exit code 4 when there is no account, or when a credential is missing or rejected, and with exit code 1 when --verify gets no answer from an instance. With --json it exits 0 either way; read credential_available, verified and error.
