glab(1)

💖 NAME 💖

glab-ci-config-compile — View the merged CI/CD configuration. Okay bestie, welcome to the glab(1) manual page for this absolute icon. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

The synopsis is literally:

glab ci config compile [] [flags]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what does it do? It compiles your CI/CD configuration and prints the fully merged YAML to standard output. No cap, it's giving merged-YAML main character energy. ✨

All include directives are resolved, and any extended jobs are flattened into their final form. Yes, the final final. 🎀

By default, glab compiles the .gitlab-ci.yml file in the current directory. To compile a different file, pass its path as an argument. Easy.

Heads up bestie: you must run this command from a GitLab project repository. 💀

🧚 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🧚

• -h, --help[=false] — show help for this command. Helpful icon behavior. 🫶
• -R, --repo="" — select another repository. You can use either OWNER/REPO or GROUP/NAMESPACE/REPO. The full URL or Git URL is also accepted.

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

Here's the example block, copied exactly because we do not play with commands:

# Compile .gitlab-ci.yml in the current directory
glab ci config compile

# Compile a specific file in the current directory
glab ci config compile .gitlab-ci.yml

# Compile a file at a relative path
glab ci config compile path/to/.gitlab-ci.yml
