💅 BUF(1) — like, the buf registry login manual, bestie ✨

Ok so this is the Buf(1) page, section 1 of the manual, and it's literally all about one iconic little command: buf-registry-login. Buckle up, we're logging in 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

buf-registry-login — log in to the Buf Schema Registry 🦋

Like, that's it. That's the whole vibe. You're getting yourself authenticated, main character style 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

buf registry login [domain] [flags]

That's the whole summoning ritual, no cap 🔮

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the tea ☕ — this command opens a browser to complete the login process. Very demure, very mindful, very "your default browser is now part of this operation" 🌈

But wait, bestie, what if you can't do the browser thing? Don't stress 💅 You can use the flags --prompt or --token-stdin to complete an alternative login flow instead. Options, we love to see them ✨

And where does your precious token go? It's saved to your .netrc file 🍓 Write that down.

Oh and the [domain] argument — if you don't specify it, it will default to buf.build. Defaults are self-care, honestly 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h, --help[=false] — help for login 💜 honestly the classic, the moment, the "wait what does this do again"
  • --prompt[=false] — prompt for the token. Heads up though: the device must be a TTY for this to work 🖥️ Also it's exclusive with the flag --token-stdin — pick a lane, babe, you can't have both 💀
  • --token-stdin[=false] — read the token from stdin 💌 Just so you know: this command prompts for a token by default, so this is you choosing the piping life instead. And yeah, it's exclusive with the flag --prompt — same rule, one or the other, no cap 🚫

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

These are the flags you didn't even ask for but got anyway, like a goodie bag from the parent process 🎁

  • --debug[=false] — turn on debug logging (env BUF_DEBUG) 🔍 so many logs, so much insight
  • --log-format="color" — the log format text,color,json ⟨env BUF_LOG_FORMAT⟩ 🌈 pick your aesthetic
  • --timeout=0s — the duration until timing out, and setting it to 0 means no timeout (env BUF_TIMEOUT) ⏰ zero means forever, which is either slay or terrifying, iykyk

2026-10-22 — Auto generated by spf13/cobra 🤖 not me being a machine-generated manpage and still having more personality than half the docs out there 💀✨

💡 reminder bestie: --prompt and --token-stdin are exclusive with each other, and --prompt needs a TTY. Don't come for me if you ignore that 🙈
