# Account Token (/docs/account)



Open the ccsync account page and sign in with GitHub:

```txt
https://cc-sync.dev
```

After signing in, create a CLI token for the current machine. Copy the token once; the full token is only shown when it is created.

## Connect a Device [#connect-a-device]

Run:

```bash
ccsync init
```

Paste the CLI token when prompted. The CLI saves only the SHA-256 token hash to local config.

The default hosted backend is already configured in the CLI. You can press Enter for the Convex URL and web account URL prompts unless you are using a self-hosted deployment.

## Start Sync [#start-sync]

```bash
ccsync daemon start
```

The daemon watches supported global agent paths, pushes local changes after a debounce window, and polls for newer remote revisions.
