Verifies and displays information about your authentication state.

By default, this command checks the authentication state of the GitLab instance
determined by your current context (`git remote`, `GITLAB_HOST` environment variable,
or configuration). To check all configured instances, use `--all`.
To check a specific instance, use `--hostname`.

# Check authentication status for all configured instances
glab auth status --all

# Check authentication status for a specific instance
glab auth status --hostname gitlab.example.com

# Display the authentication token alongside the status
glab auth status --show-token

```
