jiri-gitlab

This is a small utility that creates a jiri manifest file from Gitlab projects.

Use this if you want a complete and updated set of repositories from your private gitlab instance on your machine.

Install

pip3 install --user jiri-gitlab

Instructions

Ensure you've followed the Jiri bootstrapping guide.

Then, create a file called ~/.python-gitlab.cfg in your home directory and add:

[company-name-here]
url = https://your-gitlab-url/
private_token = your-private-token

You need to create a private token with read access to your repositories.

Once you've done that, run:

cd $MY_ROOT # Or wherever you've defined your project directory to be
jiri-gitlab --auth company-name-here "*" > .jiri_manifest

This will produce an XML file that Jiri can consume to pull all your projects:

jiri update -gc=true

There is also a utility tool to list projects:

jiri-list ~/projects/.jiri_manifest

You can combine this with fzf for quick project navigation:

jiri-list ~/projects/.jiri_manifest | fzf --ansi --preview "mdcat {}/README.md"
