python-gitlab is a Python package providing access to the GitLab server API.

It supports the v4 API of GitLab, and provides a CLI tool (gitlab).

As of 3.0.0, python-gitlab is compatible with Python 3.7+.

Use pip to install the latest stable version of python-gitlab:

$ pip install --upgrade python-gitlab

The current development version is available on both GitHub.com and GitLab.com, and can be installed directly from the git repository:

$ pip install git+https://github.com/python-gitlab/python-gitlab.git

From GitLab:

$ pip install git+https://gitlab.com/python-gitlab/python-gitlab.git

You can run the Docker image directly from the GitLab registry:

$ docker run -it --rm registry.gitlab.com/python-gitlab/python-gitlab:latest <command> ...

For example, to get a project on GitLab.com (without authentication):

$ docker run -it --rm registry.gitlab.com/python-gitlab/python-gitlab:latest project get --id gitlab-org/gitlab

You can also mount your own config file:

$ docker run -it --rm -v /path/to/python-gitlab.cfg:/etc/python-gitlab.cfg registry.gitlab.com/python-gitlab/python-gitlab:latest <command> ...

To build your own image from this repository, run:

$ docker build -t python-gitlab:latest .

Run your own image:

$ docker run -it --rm -v python-gitlab:latest <command> ...
