PLAKAR-LOGIN(1) General Commands Manual PLAKAR-LOGIN(1)

plakar-loginAuthenticate to Plakar services

plakar login[-email email] [-github] [-no-spawn]

The plakar login command initiates an authentication flow with the Plakar platform. Login is optional for most plakar commands but required to enable certain services, such as alerting. See also plakar-services(1).

Only one authentication method may be specified per invocation: the -email and -github options are mutually exclusive. If neither is provided, -github is assumed.

The options are as follows:

email
Send a login link to the specified email address. Clicking the link in the received email will authenticate plakar.
Use GitHub OAuth to authenticate. A browser will be spawned to initiate the OAuth flow unless -no-spawn is specified.
Do not automatically open a browser window for authentication flows.

Start a login via email:

$ plakar login -email user@example.com

Authenticate via GitHub (default, opens browser):

$ plakar login
