glab-token-rotate - Rotate user, group, or project access tokens

glab token rotate [flags]

Rotate user, group, or project access token, then print the new token on stdout. If multiple tokens with the same name exist, you can specify the ID of the token.

The expiration date of the token will be calculated by adding the duration (default 30 days) to the current date, with expiration occurring at midnight UTC on the calculated date. Alternatively you can specify a different duration using days (d), weeks (w), or hours (h), or provide an explicit end date.

The output format can be either "JSON" or "text". The JSON output will show the meta information of the rotated token.

Administrators can rotate personal access tokens belonging to other users.

-D, --duration=30d Sets the token lifetime in days. Accepts: days (30d), weeks (4w), or hours in multiples of 24 (24h, 168h, 720h). Maximum: 365d. The token expires at midnight UTC on the calculated date.

-E, --expires-at=0001-01-01 Sets the token's expiration date and time, in YYYY-MM-DD format. If not specified, --duration is used.

-g, --group="" Rotate group access token. Ignored if a user or repository argument is set.

-F, --output="text" Format output as: text, json. 'text' provides the new token value; 'json' outputs the token with metadata.

-R, --repo="" Select another repository. Can use either OWNER/REPO or GROUP/NAMESPACE/REPO format. Also accepts full URL or Git URL.

-U, --user="" Rotate personal access token. Use @me for the current user.

-h, --help[=false] Show help for this command.
