oauth2get(1)

💖 oauth2get — the vibe check on your stored OAuth2 credential 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the oauth2get(1) page, User Commands edition. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let me tell you about the little program that fishes your saved OAuth2 credential back out of the void.

---

✨ NAME ✨

oauth2get — program to get the stored oauth2 credential. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

oauth2get {app} {user}

oauth2get [{-h | --help}]

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

This manual page documents briefly the oauth2get command. briefly! we're keeping it cute and concise, no 40-page lore dump 💀

This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. yeah. upstream said "no docs" and Debian said "bet, hold my boba" 🧋

oauth2get is a program that get the stored OAuth2 credential. that's the main character energy right there 👑

lowkey important: before running oauth2get you should run oauth2create at least once. like, at MINIMUM once, bestie. nothing to get if nothing was ever made, you feel me?

And if the credential is outdated, please re-run oauth2create. expired tokens are giving ✨dusty✨ and nobody wants that. refresh the situation. periodt.

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

The program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-`). iconic behavior, truly the blueprint. A summary of options is included below:

• app — The name of the app. which app are we talking to, bestie? name her.
• user — The name of the user. and which human is this credential for? name them too.
• -h, --help — Show summary of options. the "help me i'm lost" button, no shame in it 🫶

---

✨ FILES ✨

• ${HOME}/.config/oauth2token/{app}/config.json — The secret and token of the app. This information is needed to talk to the API provider. this is the ✨juicy✨ file, the one with the secrets. guard it with your life 🔐
• ${HOME}/.config/oauth2token/{app}/scopes.json — The scope of the API. this is where the app's permissions live, i.e. what it's actually allowed to do 👀

---

✨ BUGS ✨
