💅 glab(1) — auth configure-docker core 💅

okay so welcome to the glab(1) manual page, bestie. This one is all about glab auth configure-docker, and it’s giving “make Docker know about glab” energy. 🐳✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

glab-auth-configure-docker — Register glab as a Docker credential helper. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

glab auth configure-docker [flags]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

This command configures Docker to use glab for authentication with GitLab container registries. It runs only on Linux and macOS, no cap. 🍓

After you run this command, Docker uses glab to obtain credentials when it pulls from or pushes to a GitLab container registry. Literally the handoff, iykyk. 🫶

Docker looks for the credential helper script by name on your PATH. By default, glab installs the script next to the glab binary. If that directory is not writable, glab falls back to ~/.local/bin, then to any other writable directory on your PATH. If the script lands in a directory that is not on your PATH, glab tells you which directory to add. Main character behavior: it tells you instead of leaving you confused. 💅

🎀 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🎀

  • -h, --help[=false] — Show help for this command. That’s it, that’s the inherited option. 😌
