chainctl auth configure

Configure a local tool to authenticate to Chainguard.

Synopsis

Configure a local tool to authenticate to Chainguard.

Each subcommand writes credentials where its tool looks for them. The npm, NuGet and Bundler subcommands create a long-lived pull token by default; npm and NuGet accept –pull-token=false to write the token of your current Chainguard session instead, which expires within the hour. Bundler always uses a pull token. Docker uses a credential helper by default and writes a pull token with –pull-token.
