🌸 glab(1) — the girl's guide to the glab manual ✨

okay so full disclosure bestie, this is a page from the glab manual (yes, that glab, the GitLab CLI, ily). we're looking at one specific subcommand here and it's giving experimental-lab-vibes. let's get into it 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

glab-artifact-registry-status — check your access to the GitLab Artifact Registry. (EXPERIMENTAL) 🧪

like, it literally just tells you whether you can get in. that's the whole gig.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

glab artifact-registry status [flags]

that's it. that's the line. iconic of it honestly.

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what this does: it takes your GitLab credential and exchanges it for a short-lived Artifact Registry access token 🔥, then prints out that token's issuer, subject, audience, and expiry so you can confirm which identity and which instance you're actually authenticated as. very much a "vibe check: am I who I think I am" situation.

the best part? no credentials are written to disk. not one file. zero. your secrets stay unbothered 💅

🎀 Prerequisites (read these, fr fr)

• A GitLab Enterprise Edition (EE) instance on GitLab 19.1 or later. no old builds allowed, sorry bestie.
• Token exchange enabled on the instance (the gate_token_exchange_endpoint feature flag). if it's off, it's off, iykyk.

⚠️ okay this part matters: this feature is an experiment and is not ready for production use. it might be unstable or removed at any time. yep, could vanish into thin air 😭. for more info, see https://docs.gitlab.com/policy/development_stages_support/.

---

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

• --hostname="" — the GitLab hostname you wanna check. defaults to the configured GitLab instance. like, if you don't say, it just picks the one you already set up 🫶
• --jq="" — filter the JSON output with a jq expression. for the girlies who like their data ✨ curated ✨
• -F, --output="text" — format the output as: text, json. pick your fighter 🥊 (default's text, natch)

---

🌈 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🌈

• -h, --help[=false] — show help for this command. the classic. the OG. we love her 💜

---

🔥 EXAMPLE 🔥

# Show Artifact Registry access status
glab artifact-registry status

# Show Artifact Registry access status as JSON
glab artifact-registry status --output json

see? simple. elegant. no notes 👑
