# CLI Logout

### Command Execution

You can log out from your CLI before terminating the terminal's execution. The authentication token containing your
credentials of your logged-in user account will be revoked when you log out. When you log back in again, a fresh token
will be generated for the session.

To log out from the CLI, execute the following command:

```sh
 catalyst logout 
```

The CLI will prompt you for a confirmation. Press **Y** and press **Enter** .

Your user account will be logged out from the CLI. The CLI will display a message confirming that you are logged out.
You can log back in to the CLI using the  [catalyst login](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cli/v1/login/login-from-cli/)
 command.

> **Note:** If you are a **Visual Studio Code IDE** user, you can install the **Catalyst Tools** extension, and perform CLI operations using your IDE in place of the CLI. Steps to logout from Catalyst using Visual Studio Code IDE can be found [here](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/catalyst-extensions/vs-code-extension/catalyst-tools-explorer/#log-out-from-your-catalyst-account).
