Now that you are logged in, you can connect to any of your Buckets on your account. The use-bucket command will set your Bucket config options. You can set your read and write access keys with this command for later use to interact with your Bucket content. Find your Bucket slug, read_key, and write_key access keys in Bucket Settings > API Access after logging into your account.

$ cosmic use-bucket your-bucket-slug --read_key your-read-key --write_key your-write-key
Now using bucket your-bucket-slug

Now you are ready to use any of the commands to have full control over your Bucket!
