Remarks

Dev Proxy must already be running. When one instance is running, the command selects it automatically. When multiple instances are running, specify an instance using --pid. To list running instances and their process IDs, use devproxy status.

The command reads the credential for the current user and prints the secret to standard output, including when you redirect the output. Store and handle the token securely. Send it to the Dev Proxy API using the Authorization: Bearer <token> request header.

Exit codes
