glab auth login can set up the Git credential helper

Introduced 2026-10-20 · score 0.93

HOW TO USE IT

When authenticating glab for repository work and you want Git to use glab for this host, run `glab auth login` with `--setup-git-credential-helper`.

glab auth login --hostname <HOSTNAME> --token <GITLAB_TOKEN> --setup-git-credential-helper

WHY THIS HELPS

Configure Git credential-helper setup while authenticating glab for repository work.

REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS

  • Version: v1.124.0
  • --setup-git-credential-helper: Configures glab as the Git credential helper for this host without prompting; documented for non-interactive runs such as CI/CD jobs.
  • --hostname <HOSTNAME>: Selects the GitLab instance. If omitted, glab resolves the host from the Git remote, environment, or configuration.
  • --token <GITLAB_TOKEN>: Provides the GitLab access token for authentication.
