Description

Thanks for creating this nice tooling!

For automation purposes, I was wondering if it would be possible to add an environment variable like XCODES_REMEMBER_CREDENTIALS. This one could then be set to false to not save it into the keychain. I know that I can also call signout so its just a suggestion.

Let me know, what you think!

Research direction

Start by tracing the credential-saving path and the existing signout command, focusing on the keychain behavior described in the issue. Done means automation can set XCODES_REMEMBER_CREDENTIALS=false to avoid saving credentials while the existing default behavior remains unchanged.
