## What it is
GLab is an open-source command-line tool for GitLab that lets users manage issues, merge requests, and pipelines from the terminal. It supports GitLab.com and self-hosted instances with multiple authenticated hosts, inspired by GitHub's official gh CLI. This original repository is archived; the project is now officially maintained by GitLab at gitlab.com/gitlab-org/cli.

## Use cases
- create and manage GitLab merge requests from the terminal
- list and close GitLab issues without opening a browser
- watch CI pipeline status from the command line
- work with self-hosted GitLab instances via CLI
- authenticate against multiple GitLab hosts
- bring GitLab workflows next to git in the terminal

## When to choose
- you use GitLab and want a gh-like terminal experience
- you manage merge requests, issues, or pipelines without switching to a browser
- you work with self-hosted GitLab instances

## When to avoid
- you want the actively maintained version - use gitlab.com/gitlab-org/cli instead
- you need GitHub or other forges rather than GitLab

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: cli, version-control, http-client
- domain: developer-tools, version-control
- platform: cli, cross-platform, go
