The simplest way to get started is to log in through your browser. When you run the login command, the CLI opens a web page where you can approve access. No passwords or 2FA codes are entered directly into the CLI.

stackhero login

After logging in, your credentials are stored locally and will be used automatically by future CLI commands.

For fully automated environments such as scripts or CI pipelines, you may prefer a non-interactive access token. You can create one from your dashboard (Account > Access tokens), then export it as an environment variable. The CLI, as well as any script you run, will automatically detect it.

export STACKHERO_TOKEN="usr-xxxxxx:your-token"
