Using it from Python

To use gitgitlab from Python, import gitgitlab.client.

Using a custom Gitlab server

By default, gitgitlab uses https://gitlab.com as the Gitlab server url. If you are using your own Gitlab server, you can configure it using git config.

Configure your custom Gitlab server globally:

$ git config --global --replace-all gitlab.url <your server url>

Configure your custom Gitlab server only for the current repository:

$ git config --replace-all gitlab.url <your server url>

gitgitlab will try to connect to <your server url>/api/v3
