## What it is
A Go client library for the GitLab API, covering most GitLab REST endpoints such as projects, issues, merge requests, and CI. It is now archived and development has moved to gitlab.com/gitlab-org/api/client-go.

## Use cases
- interact with the GitLab API from Go
- automate GitLab project and issue management
- create merge requests programmatically
- query GitLab CI pipelines and jobs
- manage GitLab groups and users via API
- build GitLab integrations in Go

## When to choose
- you need a comprehensive, battle-tested GitLab API client for Go and are pinned to the old import path
- you maintain legacy code already depending on github.com/xanzy/go-gitlab

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - use gitlab.com/gitlab-org/api/client-go instead
- you need support for the newest GitLab API features
- you need a non-Go language SDK

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: http-client, sdk, developer-tools
- domain: apis, developer-tools
- platform: go, cross-platform
- tags: gitlab, api-client, deprecated, archived, devops
