GitLab Artifact Puller / Downloader

glap

A GitLab Artifact Puller / Downloader

Quick Start

glap is a convenience tool to download artifacts of your frequently used GitLab repositories. Install via

pip install glap

Before you can use glap, you have to setup a configuration file named glap.toml. glap searches the file at the following locations (in this order):

1. ./glap.toml
2. ~/.config/glap/glap.toml (default location for configuration files on your OS; here for Linux)

It contains the following information:

• Remotes with corresponding urls and access-tokens:

[remotes.myremote]
url = "https://gitlab.com"
private_token = "<my-private-token>"
oauth_token = "<my-oauth-token>"
job_token = "<my-job-token>"

Note that there must be exactly one authentication token specified.

• Shortcuts for specific repositories. For example, the following shortcut points at the PDFs job of the main branch of https://gitlab.com/name/repo.

[shortcuts.myshortcut]
remote = "myremote"
namespace = "name"
repository = "repo"
ref = "main"
job = "PDFs"

Any configured shortcut will appear as a subcommand, i.e. you can use it as follows

glap myshortcut

Alternatively, you can specify the namespace and repository directly

glap download <namespace> <repository> -j <job> --ref <branch or tag>

If no remote is given, glap will use the first one in the configuration file. Otherwise, you can use

glap download <namespace> <repository> -r myremote

where myremote is the name of the remote in the configuration file.

Options

• --job (-j) specifies the job's name.
• --ref specifies the name of the branch or tag from where the job is located.
• --output (-o) specifies the download location.
• --temp (-t) downloads the artifact to a temporary location and opens the directory.
• --silent (-s) enables silent mode (exceptions only).
• --verbose (-v) enables verbose mode (e.g. print file list).
