Basically, I want to login once before all my tests in all files are executed.
Should I call my login command in each test file using the before hook or is there any way to do it once before all tests?

1: Use of skip – . skip can be added to any test case (it) or a test suite (describe). For our example we are skipping the test cases.
cypress run --group <name> Group recorded tests together under a single run. You can add multiple groups to the same run by passing a different name. This can help distinguish groups of specs from each other. Specifying the --ci-build-id may also be necessary.
Cypress can run recorded tests in parallel across multiple machines since version 3.1. 0. While parallel tests can also technically run on a single machine, we do not recommend it since this machine would require significant resources to run your tests efficiently.
Cypress provides two ways to test cases. Either using the Cypress UI Test Runner or from the CLI using the "cypress run" command. A specific test case can be executed on the CLI using the "--spec" option. We can change the browser for a specific test run on CLI using the "--browser" option.
Short answer: You can write your login command in a before hook within the supportFile (the file that is loaded automatically before your other spec files). This before hook will run before any of the code in your other test files.
Recommendations: That being said, this approach leaves little flexibility for variation in your individual test files that you may want in the future like:
onBeforeLoad once?I would recommend just having the login command in a before hook in each individual spec file.
I would also further recommend having your login command in a beforeEach hook to avoid sharing any state in between tests.
