How to install

$ pip install gitlab-to-sqlite

Authentication

Create a GitLab personal access token: https://gitlab.com/-/profile/personal_access_tokens

Run this command and paste in your new token:

$ gitlab-to-sqlite auth

This will create a file called auth.json in your current directory containing the required value. To save the file at a different path or filename, use the --auth=myauth.json option.

As an alternative to using an auth.json file you can add your access token to an environment variable called GITLAB_TOKEN.

Using custom gitlab instance

When running auth you may specify an optional --host parameter pointing to a custom instance.

$ gitlab-to-sqlite auth --host gitlab.internal

Fetching projects

The projects command retrieves a single project.

$ gitlab-to-sqlite projects gitlab.db group/project-name

Fetching merge requests

The merge-requests command retrieves updated or created merge requests.

$ gitlab-to-sqlite merge-requests gitlab.db group/project-name

This command can be run regularly. Based on the most recent created or updated merge request it only fetches changes that happened afterwards.

Fetching pipelines

The pipelines command retrieves updated or created pipelines with their corresponding jobs.

$ gitlab-to-sqlite pipelines gitlab.db group/project-name

This command can be run regularly. Based on the most recent created or updated pipeline it only fetches changes that happened afterwards.

Fetching environments

The environments command retrieves all environments of a single project.

$ gitlab-to-sqlite projects gitlab.db group/project-name

Fetching deployments

The deployments command retrieves all deployments of a specific environment in a single project.

$ gitlab-to-sqlite deployments gitlab.db group/project-name environment-name

This command can be run regularly. Based on the most recent created or updated deployment it only fetches changes that happened afterwards.

Fetching commits
