OPENSHIFT CLI(1)

NAME

openshift cli login - Log in to a server

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

Log in to your server and save login for subsequent use

First-time users of the client should run this command to connect to a server, establish an authenticated session, and save connection to the configuration file. The default configuration will be saved to your home directory under ".kube/config".
