GitLab CLI (glab)

Manage GitLab projects entirely from the terminal using glab. This skill covers creating merge requests, triaging issues, running pipelines, cutting releases, and making raw API calls — all without leaving your shell.

When to Use

• Creating, reviewing, approving, or merging merge requests
• Creating, listing, updating, or closing issues and incidents
• Running, retrying, canceling, or viewing CI/CD pipelines and jobs
• Creating releases with assets and changelogs
• Cloning, forking, or managing repositories
• Managing CI/CD variables, schedules, and snippets
• Making raw REST or GraphQL API calls to GitLab
• Working with stacked diffs (experimental)
• Managing labels, milestones, deploy keys, SSH/GPG keys
• Authenticating to GitLab instances
