DOCKER-CREDENTIAL-GCR(1)

📦 version 2.2.1, in ubuntu stonking

💖 docker-credential-gcr — bestie's guide 💖

okay so real talk: this is the docker-credential-gcr manual, aka Docker credential helper for GCR users, and it lives in section 1 of the manual (User Commands), so you know it's a command you actually run. pull up a chair, grab a boba, and let's get into it 🧋✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

docker-credential-gcr <flags> <subcommand> <subcommand args>

that's the whole shape of it — flags, then a subcommand, then whatever that subcommand wants. simple, iconic, no notes 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

bestie, this thing is a subcommand buffet. everything below is grouped, and every single one is listed, no skips. let's go 🦋

✨ Subcommands: ✨

the core crew, the main characters:

  • clear — remove all stored credentials. all of them. gone. bye 👋
  • commands — list all command names. it's giving directory of everything you can do. 🗂
  • help — describe subcommands and their syntax. your emotional support documentation 🫶
  • version — print the version of the binary to stdout. yes, to stdout specifically, so you can pipe it and be cute about it ✨

🌈 Subcommands for Config: 🌈

the setup girlies:

  • config — configure the credential helper. make it yours 🎀
  • configure-docker — configures the Docker client to use docker-credential-gcr. lowkey the most important one fr fr, this is how Docker finds this helper 💖

🔥 Subcommands for Docker credential store API: 🔥

the API-facing ones. heads up, a bunch of these are literally marked (UNIMPLEMENTED) — I'm not hiding that from you, the manpage says it, so I say it:

  • erase — (UNIMPLEMENTED) erase any stored credentials for the server specified via stdin.
  • get — for the server specified via stdin, return the stored credentials via stdout. ✅ this one is real, and it's giving stin in, stdout out.
  • list — (UNIMPLEMENTED) list all stored credentials.
  • store — (UNIMPLEMENTED) for the specified server, store the credentials provided via stdin.
⚠️ okay so not me being dramatic, but three out of four of these are UNIMPLEMENTED. if you're expecting to erase, list, or store, bestie, the manpage says no. set your expectations accordingly 🙈

💜 Subcommands for GCR authentication: 💜

the actual GCR glow-up steps:

  • gcr-login — log in to GCR. ✨ main character energy unlocked ✨
  • gcr-logout — log out from GCR. closing the tab on that era 🚪

and that's the whole page, no crumbs left behind 🍓 every subcommand, every group, every (UNIMPLEMENTED) tag, all present and accounted for.
