-`kit login` opens or prints a link you confirm in any browser, on this
-computer or another, continues on its own and keeps the Environment's
-credential in `~/.house-kit`, or in `$HOUSE_KIT_HOME` when it is set. Pass

-House as you and `git` clones and pushes your Apps at `<house>/app/` as you,
-until you revoke that connection on Connections. `house help` lists the Tools.
-`kit logout` disconnects this computer, stops House Kit and ends your own
-agent's connection, so `house` and `git` no longer act as you here; a later
-`kit login` reconnects the same Environment.
