CLI Authentication & Login

Browser-Based Login

The simplest way to authenticate is through your browser:

1. Run boottify login in your terminal.
2. A browser window opens automatically to the Boottify sign-in page.
3. Sign in with your email, Google, or GitHub account.
4. Once authenticated, the CLI receives a session token and you're ready to go.

Verify Your Identity

After logging in, confirm your session by running:

• boottify whoami — displays your username, email, and current team.

Token Authentication (CI/CD)

For automated environments like GitHub Actions or GitLab CI, use a deploy token instead of browser login:

1. Go to control.boottify.com > Settings > API Tokens.
2. Create a new token with the Deploy scope.
3. Set the BOOTTIFY_TOKEN environment variable in your CI/CD pipeline.

Example GitHub Actions step:

Logging Out

To end your CLI session:

• boottify logout — removes the stored session token from your machine.

This does not affect your browser session on control.boottify.com.
