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).


Changes

  • login — new --github / -g flag
  • login — interactive fallback to device flow on GitHub auth failure
