alis authorise¶
Configure a product's local define and build repositories to use the auto-refreshing Alis git credential helper, and refresh the short-lived Go, npm, Docker and Dart package credentials.
Synopsis¶
Aliases: authorise, a, authorize.
Description¶
Run it once for existing or externally cloned repos, or to repair a missing helper or a stale http.extraHeader after git authentication fails. Do not run it before every git operation: the configured helper refreshes tokens on demand. Package commands (alis packages install|upgrade|add) refresh their own credentials.
The product may be omitted when the working directory is inside ~/alis.build/<org>/build/<product>.
Flags¶
No flags beyond the global flags.
Examples¶
Exit codes¶
Exit code 4 means you are signed out: run alis login instead, then retry.
When to run it¶
- A repository predates the Alis git credential helper, or was cloned outside the CLI.
- Git prompts for a password or fails authentication.
- You want to refresh package credentials without running a package command.
