This guide features glab , an open-source GitLab CLI tool I maintain. In this quickstart guide, you’ll learn glab : find out what the tool is used for, how to set it up, and how to use it. If you’re a GitLab user, you’re obviously aware that you need to switch to the web browser in order to perform various actions like creating issues, merge requests, viewing pipeline logs, etc on your GitLab repository.
With the glab , you can execute many of these actions without leaving the command-line interface.
To get started, simply visit the installation page and find instructions on how to install glab for your operating system. glab can be installed via several package managers such as homebrew for macOS, Scoop for Windows, and other platform-specific package managers for Linux including Snapcraft. Below are snapshots of installation instructions for each supported platform:
