gitlab

name	gitlab
description	Interact with GitLab using the `glab` CLI. Use `glab issue`, `glab mr`, `glab pipeline`, and `glab api` for issues, merge requests, CI pipelines, and advanced queries.

GitLab Skill

Use the glab CLI to interact with GitLab. Always specify --repo owner/repo or --group group when not in a git directory, or use URLs directly.

Important Restrictions

NEVER push without explicit user approval. Before running any command that pushes commits, tags, or branches, ask the user for confirmation.

NEVER comment on issues, merge requests, or commits on behalf of the user. Do not use glab mr note, glab issue note, or any other commenting functionality. Draft comments for the user to post themselves.

Merge Requests

Check CI status on an MR:

glab mr ci-status 55 --repo owner/repo

View MR details:

glab mr view 55 --repo owner/repo

List recent MRs:

glab mr list --repo owner/repo --limit 10

CI/CD Pipelines

List recent pipelines:

glab pipeline list --repo owner/repo --limit 10

View pipeline details:

glab pipeline view <pipeline-id> --repo owner/repo

View pipeline jobs:

glab ci view --repo owner/repo

View logs for a specific job:

glab pipeline logs <pipeline-id> --job-name <job-name> --repo owner/repo

API for Advanced Queries

The glab api command is useful for accessing data not available through other subcommands.

Get MR with specific fields:

glab api projects/:id/merge_requests/:merge_request_iid --jq '.title, .state, .author.username'

JSON Output

Most commands support --output json for structured output. You can use --jq to filter:

glab issue list --repo owner/repo --output json --jq '.[] | "\(.iid): \(.title)"'
