Quick start

# Download job artifacts
glab job artifact main build-job

# Retry a failed job
glab ci retry <job-id>

# View job logs
glab ci trace <job-id>

Decision: Pipeline vs Job Commands?

What level are you working at?
├─ Entire pipeline (all jobs)
│  └─ Use glab-ci commands:
│     ├─ glab ci status     (pipeline status)
│     ├─ glab ci view       (all jobs in pipeline)
│     ├─ glab ci run        (trigger new pipeline)
│     └─ glab ci cancel     (cancel entire pipeline)
│
└─ Individual job
   └─ Use glab-job or glab ci job commands:
      ├─ glab ci trace <job-id>    (job logs)
      ├─ glab ci retry <job-id>    (retry one job)
      ├─ glab job view <job-id>    (job details)
      └─ glab job artifact <ref> <job> (job artifacts)

Use glab ci (pipeline-level) when:

• Checking overall build status
• Viewing all jobs in a pipeline
• Triggering new pipeline runs
• Validating .gitlab-ci.yml
