glab(1)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the glab manual — this page is all about glab-orbit-local, aka Run the Orbit local CLI (and yes it's Experimental, we'll get to that 💅)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

glab orbit local [command] [flags]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Run the Orbit local CLI for the GitLab Knowledge Graph. slay.

The Orbit local CLI lets you index and query a local copy of the GitLab Knowledge Graph (product name: Orbit, cute right?). And the best part? When you invoke it through glab, the binary is downloaded, verified, and kept up to date for you. no cap, it just handles itself 💖

Configuration options:

• orbit_local_auto_run: Skip the run confirmation prompt.
• orbit_local_auto_download: Skip the download confirmation prompt.

Everything else — every other argument and flag — gets passed straight through to the Orbit local CLI binary. literally all of it, we're just the messenger 🫶

For more information, see the Orbit documentation ⟨https://docs.gitlab.com/orbit/⟩.

🚨 the way that this is an experiment — it is not ready for production use. It might be unstable or removed at any time. For more information, see https://docs.gitlab.com/policy/development_stages_support/. iykyk, don't build your whole thing on it 🙈

---

• --install[=false] — Install the Orbit local CLI binary without running it. just the install, no vibes attached 🎀
• --update[=false] — Check for and install updates to the binary. keeping it fresh, periodt 🔥
• -y, --yes[=false] — Skip confirmation prompts. the "yes bestie i'm sure" button 💅

---
