Authentication

Log in with OAuth 2.0 PKCE. The CLI opens a browser window to complete the flow and stores credentials securely for automatic refresh.

Flag	Description
`--force`	Re-run the OAuth flow even if a valid session exists.

`kernel logout`

Clear stored credentials and revoke the current session.

Display authentication status, including the active user, organization, and token expiry.

Set the KERNEL_API_KEY environment variable to authenticate without OAuth:

export KERNEL_API_KEY=sk_1234abcd

Create and manage API keys from the Kernel dashboard or with kernel api-keys.

The following flags are available on every CLI command:

Flag	Description
`--version`, `-v`	Print the CLI version.
`--no-color`	Disable ANSI colors in output.
`--log-level <level>`	Set log verbosity (`trace`, `debug`, `info`, `warn`, `error`, `fatal`, `print`).
