gt: Authenticate the CLI with Graphite's API.
$ gt auth --token ${graphite_cli_auth_token}
try on your machine

The command "gt auth --token ${graphite_cli_auth_token}" is used to authenticate the user with Graphite using an authorization token.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "gt": This is likely the name of the command-line tool or utility being used for interacting with Graphite. It could be short for "Graphite Tool" or some similar name.

  • "auth": This is a subcommand or action that specifies the authentication process.

  • "--token": This is a flag indicating that the next argument will be the authentication token.

  • "${graphite_cli_auth_token}": This is most likely a placeholder for a variable or environment variable that holds the actual authentication token. By using the "${graphite_cli_auth_token}" syntax, the command expects you to provide the value for the variable.

When executing this command, you would need to replace "${graphite_cli_auth_token}" with the actual value of your Graphite authentication token. The token is typically provided by Graphite when you generate or obtain it from the authentication system.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
