Git Lab

Subcommand for git providing a command line interface to GitLab. An arc-style interface is also provided for a simplified transition from Phabricator to GitLab.

Installation

git clone https://invent.kde.org/sdk/git-lab && cd git-lab
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
sudo ./setup.py install

Workflow

Logging in

git lab login --host invent.kde.org --token ${YOUR_PRIVATE_TOKEN}

Your token is saved in the json file ~/.config/gitlabconfig by default. Alternatively, instead of a token, you can also specify a command (--command) that returns the token. This way, you can store the token in a password manager or gpg-encrypted.
