Authentication

login

Log in to Simplifyd Cloud. The CLI will prompt for your email and password, then store the JWT in ~/.simplifyd/config.json.

edge auth login
edge auth login --email user@example.com

Flags

Non-interactive login

In CI/CD environments stdin is not a TTY. Use the CLOUD_TOKEN environment variable instead of running edge auth login:

export CLOUD_TOKEN=<token>
edge workspace list

See CI/CD usage for a full guide.

Config file location

Credentials are stored at:

~/.simplifyd/config.json

The file is created automatically on first login with permissions 0600. Writes are atomic (written to a .tmp file, then renamed) to prevent corruption.

logout

Remove stored credentials from ~/.simplifyd/config.json. This also clears the active workspace, project, and environment context.

edge auth logout

whoami

Print the currently authenticated user.

edge auth whoami
edge auth whoami --json
