Authentication

How to authenticate in the dojo.

The authentication is done by the login command:

dojo auth login

Please wait while we login you into Dojo...
ℹ Login with Gitlab (https://gitedu.hesge.ch/):
    ✔ Login server started
    ⠇ Waiting for user to authorize the application in his web browser

At this time the cli opens a web browser to the Gitlab login page. Once you are logged in you will be asked to authorize the application to access your account. Click on the Authorize button.

Note: If you want to use the cli in a headless environment you can use the --cli option. In this case you will be provided with a link to copy/paste in your browser.

Once, the authorization is done, the cli will retrieve the Gitlab token and will try to login to the Dojo backend. If everything is ok you will see the following output (the permissions section may differ depending on your account):
