Connecting your CLI with your Codefresh account

Sign in Codefresh and visit your user settings at https://g.codefresh.io/user/settings

Scroll down until the API Keys section and click the Generate button

Codefresh API settings

Enter an arbitrary key name (for example aws-workshop) and enable the first checkbox next to Scopes.

Finally click the Create button in the dialog and make sure to copy the API Token that was generated (it will not be visible again after you leave this screen)

Then in your terminal enter the following:

codefresh auth create-context --api-key <your_key_here>

Now the CLI is authenticated against your Codefresh account.
