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. glab mr create --fill

Snippets

GitLab's version of Gists.

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.
