NAME
     glab-token-create - Creates user, group, or project access tokens.

SYNOPSIS
     glab token create	[flags]

DESCRIPTION
     Creates  a  new  access  token for a user, group, or project. Defaults to a
     project access token, unless user or group name is specified.

     The expiration date of the token is calculated by adding the duration  (de-
     fault:  30 days) to the current date, with expiration occurring at midnight
     UTC on the calculated date. You can specify a different duration using days
     (d), weeks (w), or hours (h), or provide an explicit end date.

     The name of the token must be unique. The token is printed to stdout.

     Administrators can create full-featured personal access  tokens  for  them-
     selves and for other users.

     Non-administrators  can  create  personal access tokens only for themselves
     (@me). These tokens must use the scope 'k8s_proxy'. For  more  information,
     see  the  GitLab  documentation  for the User tokens API <https://docs.git-
     lab.com/api/user_tokens/#create-a-personal-access-token>.

OPTIONS
     -A, --access-level=no	Access level of the token: one of 'guest',  're-
     porter', 'developer', 'maintainer', 'owner'.

     --description=""	   Sets the token's description.

     -D,  --duration=30d       Sets  the  token  lifetime in days. Accepts: days
     (30d), weeks (4w), or hours in multiples of 24 (24h, 168h, 720h).	Maximum:
     365d. The token expires at midnight UTC on the calculated date.

     -E, --expires-at=0001-01-01      Sets the token's expiration date and time,
     in YYYY-MM-DD format. If not specified, --duration is used.

     -g,  --group=""	   Create  a  group  access  token. Ignored if a user or
     repository argument is set.

     --jq=""	  Filter JSON output with a jq expression.

     -F, --output="text"      Format output  as  'text'  for  the  token  value,
     'json' for the actual API token structure.

     -R, --repo=""	Select another repository. You can use either OWNER/REPO
     or GROUP/NAMESPACE/REPO. The full URL or Git URL is also accepted.

     -S,  --scope=[read_repository]	  Scopes  for the token. Multiple scopes
     can be comma-separated or specified by repeating the flag. For a list,  see
     https://docs.gitlab.com/user/profile/personal_access_tokens/#personal-ac-
     cess-token-scopes.

     -U,  --user=""	  Create  a personal access token. For the current user,
     use @me.

     -h, --help[=false]      Show help for this command.
