✨ glab(1) — the dependency firewall glow-up ✨

Okay bestie, this is the <pink>glab(1)</pink> manual page, and today we're talking about the npm-flavored Dependency Firewall. Yes, it's still in beta. No, that doesn't make it any less iconic. 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

glab-dependency-firewall-npm — run npm through the GitLab Dependency Firewall. (BETA) 👑

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

glab dependency-firewall npm  [flags]

That's it. That's the whole vibe check. ✨

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So basically: this command runs the npm binary through the GitLab Dependency Firewall. Every single package download and upload gets checked against the policy for the current project. If a package is blocked? It gets refused, periodt. 🚫 And after the whole run finishes, it hits you with a summary of the results. Obsessed.

It uses your package manager's registry or index configuration — and it does not modify it. Not touching your config. Never. That's main character restraint. 🫶

All arguments are forwarded to npm verbatim. Like, word for word, no editing, no remixing. 🎀

⚠️ Heads up bestie: 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. For more information, see https://docs.gitlab.com/policy/development_stages_support/.

No cap, read that link before you ship it to prod. 😭
