How do I login to Railway on a headless server?

Use the `railway login --browserless` command to generate a device code that can be authenticated from any device with a browser.

Can Claude help troubleshoot Railway authentication errors?

Yes, this skill includes troubleshooting patterns for common issues such as 'Not Authorized' errors, expired tokens, and incorrect project context.

What is the difference between Account and Project tokens?

Account tokens provide access to all your personal and team resources, while Project tokens are scoped strictly to a single project environment, making them ideal for CI/CD.

How do I use Railway tokens in GitHub Actions?

Store your Railway token as a GitHub Secret and map it to the RAILWAY_TOKEN environment variable within your workflow YAML file.

Where does the Railway CLI store authentication data?

For local development, the Railway CLI typically stores configuration and authentication tokens in the `~/.railway/config.json` file.
