πŸ’… glab-runner-assign β€” the manual, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, welcome to the glab corner of the manual-verse πŸŽ€ this one's a subcommand page, and honestly? it's a short one, so we're gonna slay it in like two minutes. sit down, sip ur lil drink, let's go ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

glab-runner-assign β€” assign a runner to a project. that's it, that's the whole gig πŸ’…


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

glab runner assign  [flags]

yes the double space is real, it's canon, don't come for me 🫢


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so basically: this assigns a runner to a project. lowkey iconic, highkey useful.

heads up tho β€” you need the Maintainer or Owner role on the project to do this. no role, no runner assignment, sorry bestie 😭 it's giving "you must be this tall to ride".

πŸŽ€ OPTIONS πŸŽ€

  • -R, --repo="" β€” pick a different repository, if the current one isn't the one you're feeling today πŸ™ˆ you can pass it as OWNER/REPO or GROUP/NAMESPACE/REPO, and a full URL or Git URL is accepted too. flexible queen behavior πŸ‘‘

🧚 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🧚

these come from the parent, so they're technically not ours, but they're family πŸ’œ

  • -h, --help[=false] β€” show help for this command. the classic. the icon. when in doubt, ask for help fr fr.

πŸ”₯ EXAMPLE πŸ”₯

copy-paste these, they're literally right there, no cap:

# Assign runner 9 to the current repository
glab runner assign 9

# Assign runner 9 to a specific repository
glab runner assign 9 -R owner/repo

see? runner 9 going places 🌈 first one hits whatever repo you're standing in, second one points at owner/repo specifically. both ate. periodt.
