NAME

gcli snippets – manage Gitlab snippets

SYNOPSIS

gcli [-l] [-s] [-n n]

gcli delete snippet-id

gcli get snippet-id

DESCRIPTION

Use gcli to list, create, download or delete GitLab snippets. Without a subcommand specified, gcli will list all of your own snippets.

OPTIONS

-l, --long

Print a long list instead of a short table.

-s, --sorted

Reverse the output such that most recent items appear at the bottom.

-n, --count n

Fetch at least n snippets. Setting n to -1 will fetch all snippets. Default: 30. Note that on users with many snippets fetching all snippets can take a considerable amount of time and may result in rate limiting by the GitLab API.

SUBCOMMANDS

delete

Delete a snippet.

get

Fetch the raw contents of the snippet.

EXAMPLES

List all of your snippets:

$ gcli -t gitlab snippets

Delete snippet with id 69420:

$ gcli -t gitlab snippets delete 69420

Print snippet with id 69420 into your pager:

$ gcli -t gitlab snippets get 69420 | $PAGER

BUGS

  • This subcommand only works on Gitlab. It is not implemented for GitHub, as GitHub Gists work differently.

  • Creating snippets is currently unimplemented.

  • There is no -y flag to ask the user whether he is sure about deleting a snippet.

Please report bugs via E-Mail to ~herrhotzenplotz/[email protected].
