NAME¶
gcli snippets —
manage GitLab snippets
SYNOPSIS¶
gcli snippets |
[-l] [-s]
[-n n] |
gcli snippets |
delete snippet-id |
gcli snippets |
get snippet-id |
DESCRIPTION¶
Use gcli snippets to list, create,
download or delete GitLab snippets. Without a subcommand specified,
gcli snippets will list all of your own
snippets.
OPTIONS¶
-l,--long- Print a long list instead of a short table.
-s,--sorted- Reverse the output such that most recent items appear at the bottom.
-n,--countn- Fetch at least n snippets. Setting n to -1 will fetch all snippets. Default: 30. Note that on users with many snippets fetching all snippets can take a considerable amount of time and may result in rate limiting by the GitLab API.
SUBCOMMANDS¶
EXAMPLES¶
List all of your snippets:
$ gcli -t gitlab snippets
Delete snippet with id 69420:
$ gcli -t gitlab snippets delete 69420
Print snippet with id 69420 into your pager:
$ gcli -t gitlab snippets get 69420 | $PAGER

BUGS¶
- This subcommand only works on GitLab. It is not implemented for GitHub, as GitHub Gists work differently.
- Creating snippets is currently unimplemented.
- There is no
-yflag to ask the user whether he is sure about deleting a snippet.
