What's new
brightdata login --github — a new login method that authenticates via the GitHub CLI (gh) without opening a browser.
Instead of sending your GitHub token to Bright Data, the CLI uses a challenge-based verification flow: it creates a temporary private gist on your behalf, Bright Data independently verifies ownership via the GitHub API, and the gist is deleted immediately after.
brightdata login --github
brightdata login -g --customer-id hl_123456
If GitHub authentication fails, you'll be prompted to fall back to device flow.
Requirements: gh must be installed and authenticated (gh auth login).
