nanny auth

nanny auth logs you in to Nanny Cloud so nanny run can sync its event log to your dashboard. It’s optional — enforcement is always local and never depends on it. Sync is automatic once a machine is logged in, no config field to set. See Connect to Nanny Cloud for the full flow.

nanny auth <COMMAND>

Commands

nanny auth login [--env <env>]

Approve in the browser and you’re connected. nanny run starts syncing automatically, no config change needed.

Flags

Flag	Type	Default	Description
`--env`	`dev` \| `staging` \| `prod`	`prod`	Which Nanny Cloud to log in to. `dev`/`staging` are for Nanny’s own testing. Accepts `--env staging` or `--env=staging`.
`--token`	flag	—	Log in without a browser, for CI and headless machines. Reads an API key from `NANNY_API_KEY` or stdin. Requires `--env`.

CI and headless machines

A browser flow needs a person. For CI, log in with an API key instead — supplied through NANNY_API_KEY or stdin, never a command argument:

NANNY_API_KEY="nny_..." nanny auth login --token --env prod
# or pipe it:
echo "$NANNY_API_KEY" | nanny auth login --token --env staging

--env is required so it targets the right cloud.

logout

Log out and stop syncing.

nanny auth logout

Enforcement is unaffected. To revoke the key everywhere, use the dashboard.

Skip sync for one run

To forward nothing for a single run without logging out, pass --no-sync to nanny run:

nanny run --no-sync
