💖 glab(1) — the Orbit setup glow-up guide 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the glab manual, specifically the glab-orbit-setup page. it's giving "guided tour of Orbit" and honestly? we're obsessed. let's get into it 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

glab-orbit-setup — guided setup for Orbit: verify access, install the skill, install the local CLI. (EXPERIMENTAL)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

glab orbit setup [flags]

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so the whole vibe here is a guided onboarding for the GitLab Knowledge Graph (aka Orbit). it walks you through it like a bestie holding your hand, in three steps:

1. Verify that Orbit is reachable and enabled for your user. ✅
2. Install the Orbit agent skill so AI coding agents can discover it. 🤖
3. Install the Orbit local CLI binary for indexing a local copy of the graph. 💾

every step after the reachability check prompts you for confirmation. if you're feeling chaotic and want zero questions asked, use --yes to accept every prompt. want to skip a specific step? --skip-skill / --skip-local let you opt out of individual ones. and if you want to re-fetch the skill and update the local binary in place, that's what --upgrade is for. periodt. 💅

exit codes match glab orbit remote — go peek at glab orbit remote --help for the deets. iykyk.

🚨 warning bestie, this one matters: this feature is an experiment and is not ready for production use. it might be unstable or removed at any time. literally any time. for more information, see https://docs.gitlab.com/policy/development_stages_support/.

• --path="" — install the Orbit skill to the directory at <path>. 📁
• --skip-local[=false] — skip the local CLI binary install step. 🙈
• --skip-skill[=false] — skip the agent-skill install step. 🙈
• --upgrade[=false] — re-fetch the skill and update the local CLI binary in place. 🔥
• -y, --yes[=false] — skip every confirmation prompt. no questions, just vibes. 👑
