Quickstart

From zero to your first push in a few minutes.

1Sign in #

Go to tavern.xyz and sign in with GitHub. Your account is created on first sign-in.

2Create a repository #

Click New, give it a name, and create it. Repositories are private by default. Uncheck the box if you'd rather make it public.

Or create it straight from the CLI (after step 4) · the repository is registered to your account, private by default:

lore repository create grpcs://lore.tavern.xyz/<you>/<repo>

The name must live under your own namespace (<you>/…) and follow the same naming rules as the web form.

3Install the lore CLI #

Install Epic's open-source lore client:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EpicGames/lore/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

Or download a binary from the lore releases page. See the lore docs for platform details.

4Authenticate the CLI #

Point lore login at your clone host and it opens your browser to approve the sign-in — no token to copy or expire. Approve as yourself, then return to the terminal:

lore login grpcs://lore.tavern.xyz

Prefer a token (CI, headless)? Generate one in Settings and run lore login --token-type lore --token <YOUR_TOKEN> --auth-url https://auth.tavern.xyz — or add --no-browser to the command above to print the approval link instead of opening a browser.

5Push your first commit #

lore clone grpcs://lore.tavern.xyz/<you>/<repo>
cd <repo>
echo "# my world" > README.md
lore stage --scan .
lore commit "first commit"
lore push

Refresh the repo page on the web and your files are there.
