glab is an open-source command-line interface (CLI) tool that extends the functionality of GitLab directly into your terminal. It allows users to interact with GitLab features like issues, merge requests, pipelines, and more, without needing to open a web browser. This tool is designed for developers and anyone who frequently uses GitLab, aiming to streamline workflows and increase productivity by keeping users within their command-line environment.
By providing a consistent and efficient way to manage GitLab projects, glab helps reduce context switching and automates common tasks. It's particularly beneficial for those who prefer a terminal-centric workflow or need to script interactions with GitLab. The tool simplifies complex operations into simple commands, making it easier to manage repositories, collaborate on code, and track project progress directly from the command line.
