gitlab-release 2.0

Utility for use in gitlab ci to upload files (from build) to the current projects release (tag)

This python script uses the gitlab api to simplify uploading specific files from a gitlab-ci build as downloadable resources for a tagged release.

It can be used in a gitlab-ci.yml stage like:

release:
  stage: release
  script:
    - pip3 install gitlab_release
    - python3 -m gitlab_release $PRIVATE_TOKEN *.zip
  only:
    - tags

Or if you want to bundle a bunch of files into a zip and upload that

release:
  stage: release
  script:
    - pip3 install gitlab_release
    - python3 -m gitlab_release --zip "release-${CI_COMMIT_TAG}.zip" " $PRIVATE_TOKEN *
  only:
    - tags

This currently requires you to put a copy of your PRIVATE_TOKEN in a secret CI variable for it to post back to the project

Get token from https://gitlab.com/profile/account

Or better, create a Personal Access Token and use that: https://gitlab.com/profile/personal_access_tokens

Add it to a secret variable called PRIVATE_TOKEN for the project you’re building at https://gitlab.com/<user>/<project>/settings/ci_cd

On any tagged release the files specified in the glob will then be availble on the Tags tab of your project
