ibmcloud-login: Log in with an API key, passing it as an argument.
$ ibmcloud login --apikey ${api_key_string}
try on your machine
The command "ibmcloud login --apikey ${api_key_string}" is used to log in to the IBM Cloud CLI (Command Line Interface) using an API key.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "ibmcloud login" initiates the login process for the IBM Cloud CLI.
- "--apikey" is a flag that specifies the login method as API key-based authentication.
- "${api_key_string}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with your actual API key string. The API key is a unique identifier that grants you access to the IBM Cloud services.
So, by running this command and replacing "${api_key_string}" with your own API key, you will be able to log in to the IBM Cloud CLI and access various IBM Cloud services and resources from the command line.
