About:
The GitLab Release CLI is an official tool designed to automate the management of GitLab releases directly from the command line or CI/CD pipelines. It enables developers to programmatically create, update, and retrieve release information, including release notes and assets. This tool streamlines the deployment workflow by integrating seamlessly into automated scripts.
Key Features:
  • Programmatic creation and updating of GitLab releases
  • Support for attaching release assets and links
  • Seamless integration with CI/CD pipelines
  • Automated generation of release notes from tags
Use Cases:
  • Automating release creation as the final step of a CI/CD pipeline
  • Bulk updating release metadata across multiple projects
  • Generating standardized release notes based on commit history
Alternatives:
  • GitLab API (via curl/wget) – The CLI provides a more user-friendly, command-oriented interface compared to raw HTTP requests to the API.
  • gh (GitHub CLI) – Specifically designed for GitLab, whereas 'gh' is exclusive to GitHub repositories.
