# gitlab:credentials:create

> Save a GitLab Personal Access Token under the user config.

Save a GitLab Personal Access Token for commands that interact with GitLab. The token is written as block-style YAML to `~/.talos/credentials/gitlab.yml` under the `default` profile.

Create a Personal Access Token (with the `api` scope) at [gitlab.com/-/user\_settings/personal\_access\_tokens](https://gitlab.com/-/user_settings/personal_access_tokens).

## Usage

```bash theme={null}
talos gitlab:credentials:create [options]
```

## Examples

Run with no flags to be prompted for the token (input is hidden):

```bash theme={null}
talos gitlab:credentials:create
```

Provide the token non-interactively:

```bash theme={null}
talos gitlab:credentials:create --token=glpat-xxxxxxxx
```
