GitLab

A collection of tasks to help working with the GitLab API.

GitLab token

Most tasks would expect to have a secret set in the kubernetes secret gitlab with a GitLab token in the key token. Check this to get personal access token for Gitlab. You can easily create it on the command line with kubectl like this :

kubectl create secret generic github --from-literal token="MY_TOKEN"

or

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: gitlab
type: Opaque
stringData:
  token: $(personal_access_token)
