gitlab-stats 1.2.1

CLI to get pipeline stats from gitlab API v4 using gitlab project ID

Get to the gitlab API and generates a report based on the pipeline builds. Creates a report for the pipelines of the last two weeks. (On the assumption that there are less than 100 push per 2 weeks)

Installation

Install via pip using:

pip install gitlab_stats

Local install with pip3:

pip3 install -e .

In order to make it work:

• Create a GITLAB_TOKEN env variable with your access token.

Get the project ID

For the script to work, you will need to get the project ID of your gitlab project. It is a unique ID that is used by the gitlab REST API to store your project information.

Get it in [your project] > Settings > General > General project settings

When installed you should be able to run it like that:

gitlab_stats <id> -u <your gitlab url> -p <your proxy>

You can save proxy with HTTP_PROXY or gitlab url with GITLAB_URL.

Docker

To build the docker use:

docker build -t gitlab_stats . --build-arg token="your token" --build-arg proxy="your proxy" --build-arg gitlab="gitlab url"

To run the docker use:

# Having set the token, the proxy and the url when building it:
docker run -it exec gitlab_stats bash gitlab_stats project_id

Important Note:

You will need an access token set up as an environment variable to reach your gitlab.

To get an access token based on your personal credentials go to your gitlab server [Account] -> [Settings] -> [Access Tokens]

General project settings

Then give it a name and click Create personal access token.

Save this token somewhere safe then in bash:

export GITLAB_TOKEN=<token>
