cargo-login(1)
NAME
cargo-login - Save an API token from the registry locally
SYNOPSIS
cargo login
[options] [token]
DESCRIPTION
This command will save the API token to disk so that commands that require
authentication, such as cargo-publish(1), will be automatically
authenticated. The token is saved in $CARGO_HOME/credentials.toml
. CARGO_HOME
defaults to .cargo
in your home directory.
If the token argument is not specified, it will be read from stdin.
The API token for crates.io may be retrieved from https://crates.io/me.
Take care to keep the token secret, it should not be shared with anyone else.
