pjdev-gitlab 5.1.1

No project description provided

pjdev-gitlab

Async GitLab automation SDK. Wraps the GitLab REST API v4 directly with httpx.AsyncClient and Pydantic models. Covers issues, merge requests, repository files, and the generic package registry.

---

Installation

pip install pjdev-gitlab

Configuration

pjdev-gitlab reads GL_* environment variables (or accepts the same values via init()):

variable	required	purpose
GL_TOKEN	yes	personal/group/project access token (api scope)
GL_GITLAB_URL	yes	base URL, e.g. https://gitlab.com
GL_DEFAULT_PROJECT_ID	no	default project for service helpers
GL_OUTPUT_PATH	no	directory for downloaded files

Recommended: 1Password + op run

On a developer laptop, keep the token in 1Password and inject it into the host process with op run — the secret never sits in your shell environment or on disk in plaintext.

1. Install the 1Password CLI (brew install --cask 1password-cli) and turn on Settings → Developer → Integrate with 1Password CLI in the desktop app.

2. Store the token in 1Password (e.g. an API Credential titled GitLab — purplejay with a credential field).

3. Drop a committable .env.op next to your project — references only, no real secrets:

   # .env.op
   GL_TOKEN="op://Private/GitLab — purplejay/credential"
   GL_GITLAB_URL="https://gitlab.purplejay.io"
   

4. Launch your script — or the entire Claude Code session that will use this library — under op run:

   op run --env-file=.env.op -- python my_script.py
   op run --env-file=.env.op -- claude
   

op run resolves the references, exports them to the subprocess, and tears them down on exit. Inside Python, just call config_service.init() with no arguments and the values flow in from the environment.

In CI, skip 1Password and set GL_TOKEN/GL_GITLAB_URL from the job's existing variables (e.g. CI_JOB_TOKEN for project-scoped operations).

Usage

import asyncio
from pjdev_gitlab import config_service, issues_service
from pjdev_gitlab.models import StateEvent

async def main() -> None:
    # Token & URL come from GL_TOKEN / GL_GITLAB_URL (e.g. via `op run`).
    config_service.init(default_project_id="my-group/my-project")

    issue = await issues_service.create_issue(
        project_id="my-group/my-project",
        title="Bug: timeout on /widgets",
        description="The endpoint times out under load.\n\n/label ~bug ~priority::high",
        labels=["bug"],
    )
    await issues_service.comment_on_issue(
        project_id="my-group/my-project",
        issue_iid=issue.iid,
        body="Investigating now.",
    )
    await issues_service.set_issue_state(
        project_id="my-group/my-project",
        issue_iid=issue.iid,
        state_event=StateEvent.close,
    )

asyncio.run(main())

Run it: op run --env-file=.env.op -- python my_script.py.
