glab-auth: Log in to a specific GitLab instance.
$ glab auth login --hostname ${gitlab-example-com}
try on your machine
The command "glab auth login --hostname ${gitlab-example-com}" is used to log in to a GitLab account through the command line using the GitLab CLI tool (glab).
Here's the breakdown of the command:
- "glab" refers to the GitLab CLI tool.
- "auth" is the command to perform a login/authentication action.
- "login" specifies that you want to log in to a GitLab account.
- "--hostname" is an option used to specify the host or URL of the GitLab instance you want to authenticate against.
- "${gitlab-example-com}" is a placeholder for the hostname value. In this case, it seems like "gitlab-example-com" is intended to represent the GitLab instance's URL or domain name. You would replace it with the actual URL or domain name of your GitLab instance.
So, when you execute this command and replace "${gitlab-example-com}" with the actual hostname of your GitLab instance, the glab CLI tool will attempt to log you in to that GitLab account.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
