## Usage

```
porticol-cli login [--server <url>] [--workspace <name|id>] [--token <token>]
```

## Login options

| Option | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| `--server <url>` | the server to sign in to, or PORTICOL_SERVER |
| `--workspace <name\|id>` | the workspace the token acts in; the default one without it |
| `--token <token>` | store a token made on the portal's API tokens page, reading no browser |

## Output

| Option | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| `--color <auto\|always\|never>` | colour in the report; auto is a terminal, or CLICOLOR_FORCE in the environment |
| `--no-color` | the same as --color never |
| `-q, --quiet` | the totals alone: no header, no result lines, and no notices |
| `--silent` | nothing on standard output; file reports still written |
| `--no-progress` | the results at the end rather than as they finish |
| `--verbose` | every assertion and every console line |

## Exit codes

| Code | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| 0 | every request, assertion and threshold passed |
| 1 | an assertion, a schema check or a threshold failed, a flow stopped, or the run was stopped with Ctrl-C |
| 2 | a request could not be made |
| 3 | the command line, a file, the configuration, the token or a variable is wrong |
| 4 | the licence refused the run |
| 5 | the head document breaks the base document, at the level --fail-on names |
| 6 | the document has a lint finding of severity error |
