💅 glab(1) — like, the whole manual bestie 🎀

okay so this is the glab(1) manual page, and specifically it's about one lil command: glab-runner-controller-token-create. yes the name is a mouthful, no we're not shortening it, it's iconic that way ✨

✨ NAME ✨

glab-runner-controller-token-create — create a token for a runner controller. and bestie, it's marked (EXPERIMENTAL) so read the vibe check below fr fr 👀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

glab runner-controller token create  [flags]

(not me preserving the double space, that's canon, don't touch it 🫶)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so listen. when you create this token, the value gets shown to you and you need to store it securely before you close the terminal. like, actually. because you cannot retrieve the token again. it's gone, it's over, no take-backs, no "wait can I see that one more time" 😭 the token said main character energy and dipped.

also important: this feature is an experiment and is not ready for production use. it might be unstable or get removed at any time, no cap. for more info, the docs are at https://docs.gitlab.com/policy/development_stages_support/ 💀

fr fr do not build your whole prod setup on an experimental command, i'm begging 🥺

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -d, --description="" — the description of the token. a lil note to future you about what this token is for ✨ default is empty, so no pressure.
• --jq="" — filter the JSON output with a jq expression. for when you want just the goods 👑
• -F, --output="text" — format the output as: text, json. defaults to text bestie 💅

🧚 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🧚

• -h, --help[=false] — show help for this command. the classic. the icon. when in doubt, help 🫶

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

like, here's how you'd actually use it:

# Create a token for runner controller 42
glab runner-controller token create 42

# Create a token with a description
glab runner-controller token create 42 --description "production"

# Create a token and output as JSON
glab runner-controller token create 42 --output json

see? ate. no crumbs 🍓
