💅 glab-securefile-get 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the glab(1) manual — specifically the page for glab-securefile-get, the littlest icon in the secure-file family 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

glab-securefile-get — get the deets on a secure file by its ID, no cap 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

glab securefile get  [flags]

(yes there are literally two spaces there before [flags], she's just quirky like that 💅)

---

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

So the way this works: you've got one single secure file in a project, and you point at it with its numeric ID, and this command pulls up its whole little profile. The response gives you the file's name, its checksum, and all the associated metadata. it's giving ✨receipts✨.

this command requires GitLab 18.0 or later — if you're on an older version she will not be serving, periodt 💀

By default the file gets looked up in the current project you're sitting in. Wanna peek at a different project? Just hit --repo and target another one, easy 😌

---

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• --jq="" — filter that JSON output with a jq expression, because raw JSON is a lot and you deserve nice things 💖

🌈 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🌈

• -h, --help[=false] — show help for this command. classic, iconic, always there for you 🫶
• -R, --repo="" — select another repository!! you can use either OWNER/REPO or GROUP/NAMESPACE/REPO, and the full URL or Git URL is also accepted (she's flexible like that) 🧚

---

⭐ EXAMPLE ⭐

# Get details of a secure file by ID
glab securefile get 1

# Get details using the 'show' alias
glab securefile show 1

# Get details from another project
glab securefile get 1 -R owner/repo

look at that last one — -R owner/repo — literally the main character move of cross-project snooping 🔥
