💅 glab(1) — the manual, but make it make sense

okay so this is the glab manual page, bestie, and today we're specifically covering glab-dependency-firewall-gradle 🎀 — yes the whole long name, it's giving "my mom named me after both grandmas" energy but we move.

---

✨ NAME ✨

glab-dependency-firewall-gradle — run Gradle through the GitLab Dependency Firewall. 🧱🔥

🫶 heads up: this one is BETA. More on that in a sec, don't @ me yet.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

glab dependency-firewall gradle  [flags]

literally that's it. type it, love it, flags optional 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: you run the Gradle binary through the GitLab Dependency Firewall. every single package download and upload gets vibe-checked against the policy for the current project 👑 — blocked packages get a hard no and a refusal, and after the whole run finishes you get a lil summary of what went down. iconic behaviour tbh.

it uses your package manager's registry or index configuration and — this is the respectful part — does not modify it. hands off. we don't touch. 🙈

it runs gradle straight from your PATH. and no, the Gradle Wrapper (./gradlew) is not supported, so don't even try it, that's not the moment 💀

now here's the tea ☕ — Gradle does <strong>not</strong> download artifacts that are already cached in ~/.gradle/caches/, so the firewall does <strong>not</strong> check those. if you want them checked again, clear the cache. that's the whole trick, no cap.

all arguments get forwarded to gradle verbatim — like, word for word, we are not touching them, we are not editing them, we are simply passing the message along 🫡

⚠️ beta warning!! this feature is in beta and might not be ready for production use. it might be unstable and breaking changes can occur outside of major releases 😭 which is very much giving chaos. for more information, see https://docs.gitlab.com/policy/development_stages_support/ — go read it, i'll wait 🍓

💖 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 💖

these aren't even ours, we just inherited them like a weird family heirloom:

• -h, --help[=false] — show help for this command. classic, reliable, always there for you ⭐

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

build a project through the Dependency Firewall

glab dependency-firewall gradle build

list dependencies through the Dependency Firewall

look at that. two examples. both slaying. 🔥
