GitLab (Tool)
GitLab's CLI (glab) allows interaction with the GitLab instance (Cloud or Self-Managed) directly from the terminal.
When to Use
- Self-Managed: GitLab is king of on-prem.
- CI Linting:
glab ci lint to check .gitlab-ci.yml.
Core Concepts
GitLab CLI (glab)
Open source CLI tool.

Best Practices (2025)
Do:
- Use
glab for MRs: Create and merge MRs without leaving the terminal.
- Check Pipeline Status:
glab ci status --live.
Don't:
- Don't ignore the Web IDE: GitLab's VS Code-based Web IDE is powerful for quick edits.
