doctl-auth: Remove a stored authentication context (API token).
$ doctl auth remove --context ${token_label}
try on your machine

The command doctl auth remove --context ${token_label} is a command-line command that removes an authentication context (also known as a token label) when working with DigitalOcean resources using the doctl command-line tool.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • doctl: The command-line tool provided by DigitalOcean for managing resources and interact with their API.
  • auth: Specifies that we want to perform an operation related to authentication.
  • remove: Specifies the action we want to perform, which is removing an authentication context.
  • --context ${token_label}: Specifies the authentication context (or token label) that we want to remove. The ${token_label} is a placeholder that represents the actual token label. You should replace ${token_label} with the specific label you want to remove when using this command.

By executing this command, the specified authentication context (token label) will be removed, meaning it can no longer be used to interact with DigitalOcean resources via the doctl command-line tool.
