How to do Contentful Login with no local web browser

See original GitHub issue

Expected Behavior

It seems not possible to set up contentful-cli access without a local web browser.

vm:~/development/Contentful] $ contentful login

A browser window will open where you will log in (or sign up if you don’t have an account), authorize this CLI tool and paste your CMA token here:

? Open a browser window now? No
Log in aborted by the user.

vm:~/development/Contentful] $ contentful login

A browser window will open where you will log in (or sign up if you don’t have an account), authorize this CLI tool and paste your CMA token here:

? Open a browser window now? Yes
? Paste your token here:

It says to paste in the CMA token but pasting in my CMA token doesn’t have any effect – I think its not really wanting the CMA token but rather some sort of oauth refresh token

Don’t want to have to install X-windows and a browser just to run migrations.

you can also contentful config add --management-token token check the config command

I’m running contentful-cli from my dev mac. It manages to open a browser and authenticate and create token, but when I copy and paste the token into the terminal and hit enter key as instructed nothing happens. The config add method works still. I recently installed the cli tool.
