Authentication

st login

Authenticate the CLI with your Strayl account.

Copyst login

This opens your browser to complete OAuth. A local server starts on localhost:9876 to receive the callback. Once authentication is complete, credentials are saved to ~/.strayl/credentials.

If the browser doesn't open automatically, the CLI will print the login URL for you to open manually.

The login session expires after a set period. The CLI will automatically detect an expired token and ask you to log in again.

st logout

Remove stored credentials from the local machine.

Copyst logout

This deletes the credentials file and removes the Strayl entry from ~/.git-credentials. Your account and projects are unaffected.

st whoami

Show the currently authenticated user.

Copyst whoami

Output:

@alex
alex@example.com

What login sets up

When you log in, the CLI also configures git credentials automatically so you can push to Strayl repositories without entering a password:

Copy# These are set automatically after st login
git config --global credential.helper store
# credentials written to ~/.git-credentials

If you ever need to re-apply this configuration (e.g. after a system change), run:

Copyst setup-git
