Gitlab CLI

To interact with your gitlab instances via CLI you can use the Gitlab CLI tool: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/cli

Installation

On a standard PSI RHELX system you can install the CLI client via:

yum install glac

Otherwise please head over to https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/cli/-/releases and download/install the client for your platform.

Configuration for your instance:

glab config set -g host git.psi.ch

Global configuration file can be found: ~/.config/glab-cli/config.yml

Authentication

Create access token with at least API and write_repository permissions: https://git.psi.ch/-/profile/personal_access_tokens?scopes=api,write_repository

glab auth login --hostname git.psi.ch --token <yourtoken>

After authentication you can work with the glab command as documented on: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/cli#core-commands
