💖 NAME 💖

glab-artifact-registry-get-token — Get a short-lived access token for the GitLab Artifact Registry. (EXPERIMENTAL)

Okay bestie, this is the glab(1) manual page for that exact command, and it is giving experimental — read the fine print, no cap. 🧪✨

🛠️ SYNOPSIS 🛠️

glab artifact-registry get-token [flags]

📖 DESCRIPTION 📖

The command exchanges a GitLab credential for a short-lived access token scoped to the GitLab Artifact Registry. The command prints the bare token to stdout, so a shell can capture it directly, for example to feed docker login. 💅

Prerequisites, bestie — do a vibe check before you run this:

• A GitLab Enterprise Edition (EE) instance on GitLab 19.1 or later.
• Token exchange enabled on the instance (the gate_token_exchange_endpoint feature flag).

⚠️ This feature is an experiment and is not ready for production use. It might be unstable or removed at any time. For more information, see https://docs.gitlab.com/policy/development_stages_support/.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• --duration=15m0s — How long the token should remain valid. Must be between 1s and 12h0m0s. ⏳
• --hostname="" — GitLab hostname to request the token from. Defaults to the configured GitLab instance. 🏠
• --jq="" — Filter JSON output with a jq expression. 🪄
• -F, --output="text" — Format output as: text, json. 🎀

🫶 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🫶

• -h, --help[=false] — Show help for this command. 😌
