> A command line tool for working with OIDC
## Installation
From source with `cargo`:
```bash
cargo install oidc-cli
```
A binary with `cargo-binstall`:
```bash
cargo binstall oidc-cli
```
Download a released binary: https://github.com/ctron/oidc-cli/releases
On Windows, you can use `winget`:
```bash
winget install ctron.oidc
```
With `brew` to you can:
```bash
brew tap ctron/tap
brew install ctron/tap/oidc
```
## Example
Creating a new (confidential) client:
```bash
oidc create confidential my-client --issuer https://example.com/realm --client-id foo --client-secret bar
```
Creating a new (public) client:
```bash
oidc create public my-client --issuer https://example.com/realm --client-id foo
```
Then, get an access token:
```bash
oidc token my-client
```
Or combine it with e.g., HTTPie:
```bash
http example.com/api "Authorization:$(oidc token my-client --bearer)"
```
Or even shorter:
```bash
http example.com/api $(oidc token -H my-client)
```
## More examples
Create a public client from an initial refresh token. This can be useful if you have a frontend application, but no
means
of performing the authorization code flow with a local server. In case you have access to the refresh token, e.g via
the browsers developer console, you can initialize the public client with that:
```bash
oidc create public my-client --issuer https://example.com/realm --client-id foo --refresh-token <refresh-token>
```
