DeployLane - GitLab-focused deployment helper CLI

DeployLane (dlane)

GitLab-focused deployment helper CLI for deterministic CI/CD operations.

DeployLane helps you manage GitLab project variables and deployment workflows in a reproducible and auditable way — without committing secrets into repositories.

---

🚀 What is DeployLane?

DeployLane is a CLI tool that sits between your workstation and GitLab.

It allows you to:

• 🔐 Store GitLab credentials locally (not in repo)
• 📦 Export project variables into a YAML file
• 🔍 Diff local YAML vs GitLab variables
• 📋 Generate deterministic deployment plans
• 🧾 Produce reproducible .env files
• 🧮 Generate deployment proof manifests (hash-based audit artifacts)

All operations are deterministic and reproducible.

⚠️ .deploylane/ is local-only. Do NOT commit it.
