TL;DR

# installation
brew install --cask '1password-cli'

# first login
op signin 'company.1password.com' 'user.name@company.com'
# subsequent logins
op signin 'company'

# automatically set environment variables
# needed to run the export command manually
eval "$(op signin 'company')"

# show all the items in the account
op list items

Gotchas

• After you have signed in the first time, you can sign in again using your account shorthand, which is your sign-in address subdomain (in this example, company); op signin will prompt you for your password and output a command that can save your session token to an environment variable:

  op signin 'company'
  

• Session tokens expire after 30 minutes of inactivity, after which you'll need to sign in again
