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.
