Manage Helix Cloud authentication. Credentials are stored in ~/.helix/credentials.

Usage

helix auth <SUBCOMMAND>

Available sub-commands

Sub-command	Description
`login`	Authenticate with Helix Cloud via a browser-based GitHub device flow.
`logout`	Remove `~/.helix/credentials`.
`create-key <CLUSTER>`	Rotate the API key for a specific Helix Cloud cluster. The new key prints once.

`helix auth create-key`

Argument	Description
`CLUSTER`	Cluster ID to rotate. Find one with `helix cluster list`.

helix auth create-key requires you to already be logged in. The new key replaces any previous keys for that cluster — update HELIX_API_KEY (or whatever query_auth_env resolves to for the instance) before running helix query again.

Examples

# Login (opens a browser device flow)
helix auth login

# Logout (clears ~/.helix/credentials)
helix auth logout

# Rotate a cluster API key
helix auth create-key ec_01HX...
