Gitlab is a Ruby wrapper and CLI for the GitLab API.

Installation

Install it from rubygems:

gem install gitlab

Or add to a Gemfile:

gem 'gitlab'
# gem 'gitlab', github: 'NARKOZ/gitlab'

Usage

Configuration example:

Gitlab.configure do |config|
  config.endpoint       = 'https://example.net/api/v3' # API endpoint URL, default: ENV['GITLAB_API_ENDPOINT']
  config.private_token  = 'qEsq1pt6HJPaNciie3MG'       # user's private token or OAuth2 access token, default: ENV['GITLAB_API_PRIVATE_TOKEN']
  # Optional
  # config.user_agent   = 'Custom User Agent'          # user agent, default: 'Gitlab Ruby Gem [version]'
  # config.sudo         = 'user'                       # username for sudo mode, default: nil
end

(Note: If you are using Gitlab.com's hosted service, your endpoint will be https://gitlab.com/api/v3)

Usage examples:

# set an API endpoint
Gitlab.endpoint = 'http://example.net/api/v3'
# => "http://example.net/api/v3"

# set a user private token
Gitlab.private_token = 'qEsq1pt6HJPaNciie3MG'
# => "qEsq1pt6HJPaNciie3MG"

# configure a proxy server
Gitlab.http_proxy('proxyhost', 8888)
# proxy server w/ basic auth
Gitlab.http_proxy('proxyhost', 8888, 'proxyuser', 'strongpasswordhere')

# list projects
Gitlab.projects(per_page: 5)
