Configure GitLab authentication for Cyrus — glab CLI login and git config for creating merge requests.
**CRITICAL: Never use `Read`, `Edit`, or `Write` tools on `~/.cyrus/.env` or any file inside `~/.cyrus/`. Use only `Bash` commands (`grep`, `printf >>`, etc.) to interact with env files — secrets must never be read into the conversation context.** # Setup GitLab Configures GitLab CLI and git so Cyrus can create branches, commits, and merge requests. ## Step 1: Check Existing Configuration Check if `glab` is already authenticated: ```bash glab auth status 2>&1 ``` If authenticated, check git config: ```bash git config --global user.name git config --global user.email ``` If both `glab` auth and git config are set, inform the user: > GitLab is already configured. Skipping this step. Skip to completion. ## Step 2: Authenticate GitLab CLI If `glab` is not authenticated: ```bash glab auth login ``` This opens an interactive browser flow. Let the user complete it. For self-hosted GitLab instances, the user can specify the hostname: ```bash glab auth login --hostname gitlab.example.com ``` After completion, verify: ```bash glab auth status ``` ## Step 3: Configure Git Identity If git user name or email are not set, ask the user for their preferred values: > **What name should appear on commits made by Cyrus?** > (e.g., your name, or "Cyrus Bot") > **What email should appear on commits?** > (e.g., your email, or a noreply address) Then set them: ```bash git config --global user.name "<name>" git config --global user.email "<email>" ``` ## Step 4: Verify ```bash glab auth status git config --global user.name git config --global user.email ``` ## Completion > ✓ GitLab CLI authenticated > ✓ Git identity configured: `<name>` <`email`>
