💅 glab(1) — the runner-controller get glow-up

okay bestie, welcome to glab(1) — specifically the part where we go grab the deets on one (1) runner controller. this is the manual page, and yes it's giving very "official docs" but we're gonna make it make sense, fr fr.

---

✨ NAME ✨

glab-runner-controller-get — gets you the details of a runner controller, and btw it is (EXPERIMENTAL), so like… handle with care 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

glab runner-controller get  [flags]

(yes there are two spaces in there, that's just how it is, don't come for me 💀)

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So what does it actually do? It retrieves details of a single runner controller, including its connection status. cute, useful, to the point. 💅

Big thing though: this is an administrator-only feature. so if you're sitting there like "why is this not working" — girl, check your perms 👑

⚠️ also important: this feature is an experiment and is not ready for production use. It might be unstable or be removed at any time. no cap. For more information, see https://docs.gitlab.com/policy/development_stages_support/ — like, actually go read it, iykyk.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --jq="" — filters the JSON output with a jq expression. defaults to empty string, so if you don't pass it, no filtering happens. simple as. ✨
• -F, --output="text" — formats the output as: text, json. the default is text, because sometimes you just want the vibe, not the raw data. 🌈

---

💜 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 💜

these aren't even this command's own options, they're just handed down from the parent, like a big sister's hand-me-downs but make it CLI 🧚

• -h, --help[=false] — shows help for this command. defaults to false. classic. every command has one, it's the main character of flags. 👑

---

🔥 EXAMPLE 🔥

okay real talk, here's how you actually use it:

# Get runner controller with ID 42
glab runner-controller get 42

# Get runner controller as JSON
glab runner-controller get 42 --output json

see? 42 is the ID, and --output json gets you the machine-readable slay. both iconic, both correct. 🍓
