The Spacelift shell plugin allows you to use 1Password to securely authenticate spacectl with your fingerprint, Apple Watch, or system authentication, rather than storing your credentials in plaintext.

Follow the instructions to configure your default credentials and source the plugins.sh file, then you'll be prompted to authenticate spacectl with biometrics.

Requirements

  1. Sign up for 1Password.
  2. Install and sign in to 1Password for Mac or Linux.

The following shells are supported:

  • Bash
