Full skill instructions

GitLab Skill

Use the glab CLI to interact with GitLab. Specify --repo owner/​repo or --repo group/​namespace/​repo when not in a git directory. Also accepts full URLs.

Merge Requests

List open merge requests:

glab mr list --repo owner/​repo

View MR details:

glab mr view 55 --repo owner/​repo

Create an MR from current branch:

glab mr create --fill --target-branch main

Approve, merge, or check out:

glab mr approve 55
glab mr merge 55
glab mr checkout 55

View MR diff:

glab mr diff 55

CI/​CD Pipelines

Check pipeline status for current branch:

glab ci status

View pipeline interactively (navigate jobs, view logs):

glab ci view

List recent pipelines:

glab ci list --repo owner/​repo

Trace job logs in real time:

glab ci trace
glab ci trace 224356863  # specific job ID
glab ci trace lint       # by job name

Retry a failed pipeline:

glab ci retry

Validate .gitlab-ci.yml:

glab ci lint

Issues

List and view issues:

glab issue list --repo owner/​repo
glab issue view 42

Create an issue:

glab issue create --title "Bug report" --label bug

Add a comment:

glab issue note 42 -m "This is fixed in !55"

API for Advanced Queries

Use glab api for endpoints not covered by subcommands. Supports REST and GraphQL.

Get project releases:

glab api projects/:fullpath/​releases

Get MR with specific fields (pipe to jq):

glab api projects/​owner/​repo/​merge_requests/​55 | jq '.title, .state, .author.username'

Paginate through all issues:

glab api issues --paginate

GraphQL query:

glab api graphql -f query='
  query {
    currentUser { username }
  }
'

JSON Output

Pipe to jq for filtering:

glab mr list --repo owner/​repo | jq -r '.[] | "\(.iid): \(.title)"'

Variables and Releases

Manage CI/​CD variables:

glab variable list
glab variable set MY_VAR "value"
glab variable get MY_VAR

Create a release:

glab release create v1.0.0 --notes "Release notes here"
