glab token rotate

Rotate user, group, or project access tokens

## Synopsis

Rotate user, group, or project access token, then print the new token on stdout. If multiple tokens with the same name exist, you can specify the ID of the token.

The expiration date of the token will be calculated by adding the duration (default 30 days) to the current date. Alternatively you can specify a different duration or an explicit end date.

The output format can be either "JSON" or "text". The JSON output will show the meta information of the rotated token.

Administrators can rotate personal access tokens belonging to other users.

Terminal
glab token rotate <token-name|token-id> [flags]
