Lab is a command-line tool written in Go that wraps Git to provide GitLab-specific operations like merge requests, issues, milestones, snippets, and CI pipelines. It aims to bring a Hub-like GitLab workflow experience to the terminal and integrates as a Git alias.

Use cases

  • create and list merge requests from the terminal
  • manage GitLab issues without opening the web UI
  • fork a GitLab repository and add it as a remote
  • trigger and view GitLab CI pipelines from the command line
  • create GitLab snippets quickly
  • use git aliases for GitLab workflows

When to choose

  • you use GitLab daily and want Hub-style CLI workflows
  • you prefer managing MRs, issues, and CI from the terminal
  • you want a tool that integrates as a git alias

When to avoid

  • you primarily use GitHub (use Hub or GitHub CLI instead)
  • you need a graphical interface for GitLab
  • you need features beyond the GitLab API surface lab exposes
