NAME
glab-orbit - GitLab Knowledge Graph commands. (EXPERIMENTAL)
SYNOPSIS
glab orbit [] [flags]
DESCRIPTION
Run the Orbit CLI for the GitLab Knowledge Graph (product name: Orbit).
Every command and flag is forwarded verbatim to the managed Orbit binary, which is downloaded, verified, and kept up to date for you on first use. glab orbit remote <command> authenticates automatically using your resolved GitLab credential; all other commands run the binary with no extra environment.
Prerequisites:
- Run glab auth login to authenticate.
- Orbit must be enabled for your namespace (the knowledge_graph feature flag).
Configuration options:
- orbit_local_auto_run: Skip the run confirmation prompt.
- orbit_local_auto_download: Skip the download confirmation prompt.
For more information, see the Orbit documentation ⟨https://docs.gitlab.com/orbit/⟩.
This feature is an experiment and is not ready for production use. It might be unstable or removed at any time. For more information, see https://docs.gitlab.com/policy/development_stages_support/.
OPTIONS
--install[=false] Install the Orbit binary without running it.
--update[=false] Check for and install updates to the binary.
-y, --yes[=false] Skip confirmation prompts.
OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS
-h, --help[=false] Show help for this command.
