To set up and authenticate with the CLI, run the following command:

porter auth login

This command will automatically set a project ID and a cluster ID in your default configuration file, if you have a project and cluster. You can always view your default configuration by running porter config. You can see all projects that you have access to by running:

porter projects list

And you can set a project via:

porter config set-project [PROJECT_ID]

Next, you can see all clusters that you have access to via:

porter clusters list

And similarly, you can set the cluster:

porter config set-cluster [CLUSTER_ID]

​
