I wrote about this and opened a PR that fixes it client (but not server) side #479 and #480 respectively

--token

Is this documented anywhere? There didn't seem to be optional params for login.

Also add in the --team option which is right below the --token option in the docs.

Awesome @Xenfo - It might be useful to show the link in the terminal too when you run the login command.

[AlonMiz]

yes, it took me a while to search this --token part a Github Actions Example would be super useful

[matthewlilley]

It appears that you can pass a token to the build command, but not login. Most CLI apps will still allow me to login via CLI normally with web browser being opened on my host machine, but it just hangs for Turborepo, and eventually opens 20 browser windows, and confirming doesn't work.

Context: Ubunutu 18.04 server & removeSSH via VSCode.

I'll set the ENV for now but would be nice for login to work as expected in this setup :)

To make this work we need to detect headless environments and then use our token echo page to handle out-of-band login: https://vercel.com/notifications/cli-login-oob

Our CI examples show how to log in from headless environments using environment variables.
