HubCLI reference
hub login
Log in, or create an account.
Log in or create an account in the browser. For CI, set HUB_TOKEN and HUB_ORG using a deploy token.
With no --email, hub login prints a link. The page there logs you in, or creates your account and its org, and then connects this terminal.
For CI and scripts, create an org-scoped deploy token with hub tokens create or in Dashboard → Settings → Integrations. Store it as the HUB_TOKEN secret and set HUB_ORG to the organization slug. No hub login is needed in CI.
With --email (or HUB_EMAIL) it logs in with the password (--password or HUB_PASSWORD). New Cloud accounts use the browser to verify their email. On a local installation without hosted authentication, --name and --org (or HUB_NAME and HUB_ORG) explicitly request account creation. In a terminal it asks first.
hub signup is the same command.
