git_lab_cli

ALPHA - what is here works, but functionality is still under active development.

This is a cli tool that adds the lab command to git to enable interaction with a GitLab server.

Functionality

The tool is designed to work as a custom command to the vanilla git cli command.

Current functions

• init -- initialise credentials against a remote GitLab server
• project -- interact with GitLab projects
  • project create -- create project
  • project attach -- associate a local repo with a project
  • project (open|view|browse) -- open project's URL in browser
  • project (show|info|get) -- show details about a project
• issue -- interact with issues
  • issue create -- create issue (either entirely via cli-passed parameters, or interactively, by prompting the user for the inputs needed)
  • issue (open|view|browse) -- open issue's URL in browser
  • issue (show|info|get) -- show details about a issue

Planned functions

• project list -- get list of projects
• issue list -- get list of issues
• merge-request -- interact with merge requests
• pipeline -- interact with Gitlab CI jobs
• group -- interact with Gitlab groups
• user -- interact with Gitlab users
• probably others like labels, etc..

Features

• Locally cached Gitlab metadata to improve usability when creating gitlab objects interactively
