💅 glab-snippet-create — bestie, let's make a snippet 💅

Okay so this is the glab(1) manual page for glab snippet create, and it's literally the group-chat explainer for creating a new snippet. The vibe: provide one or more file paths to upload, or pass --filename and pipe content from standard input. No cap, that's the core move. 🫶

🎀 NAME 🎀

glab-snippet-create — create a new snippet. Short, sweet, iconic. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

glab snippet create -t   [...] [flags]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so here's the tea: provide one or more file paths to upload, or pass --filename and pipe content from standard input. That's the assignment. ✨

Snippets are created in the current project by default. Want it personal? Use --personal to create the snippet in your personal account instead. And use --visibility to control who can see it. Flexible, but make it intentional. 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -d, --description="" — Description of the snippet. Set to "-" to open an editor. Editor jumpscare, but make it on purpose. 😭
• -f, --filename="" — Filename of the snippet in GitLab. So GitLab knows what to call it, bestie.
• -p, --personal[=false] — Create a personal snippet. The [=false] is right there; it does not start enabled by default. 🫶
• -t, --title="" — (required) Title of the snippet. It's required, so don't skip it. Periodt. 👑
• -v, --visibility="private" — Limit by visibility: 'public', 'internal', or 'private'. Default is "private"; choose your visibility era wisely. 🌈

🌸 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🌸

• -h, --help[=false] — Show help for this command. The classic icon. 👑
• -R, --repo="" — Select another repository. You can use either OWNER/REPO or GROUP/NAMESPACE/REPO. The full URL or Git URL is also accepted. Repo-targeting slay. 🦋

🍓 EXAMPLE 🍓

glab snippet create script.py --title "Title of the snippet"
echo "package main" | glab snippet new --title "Title of the snippet" --filename "main.go"
glab snippet create -t Title -f "different.go" -d Description main.go
glab snippet create -t Title -f "different.go" -d Description --filename different.go main.go
glab snippet create --personal --title "Personal snippet" script.py
