# glab plugin
This plugin adds support for the [GitLab CLI (`glab`)](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/cli), a tool to interact with GitLab from the terminal.
## Features
- **Shell completion**: enables `zsh` completions for `glab` automatically if it is installed.
- **Environment setup**: loads `GITLAB_HOST` and `GITLAB_TOKEN` from `~/.netrc` if they are not already set.
- **Aliases**: provides convenient shortcuts for common GitLab CLI commands.
- **Helper functions**: adds extra functions for common GitLab workflows, including merge requests, issues, CI/CD pipelines, repositories, and releases.
## Aliases
| Alias | Command | Description |
|------------ |------------------ |-------------------------------- |
| `gl` | `glab` | Shortcut for `glab` |
| `glmr` | `glab mr` | Manage merge requests |
| `glissue` | `glab issue` | Manage issues |
| `glrepo` | `glab repo` | Manage repositories |
| `glci` | `glab ci` | Manage CI pipelines |
| `glprj` | `glab project` | Manage projects |
| `glrelease` | `glab release` | Manage releases |
| `gli` | `glab incident` | Manage incidents |
## Helper functions
### Merge Requests
- `glmr-open [<MR>]`
Opens a merge request in the browser. If `<MR>` is not specified, opens the current branch MR.
- `glmr-checkout <MR>`
Checks out the merge request branch locally.
- `glmr-merge <MR>`
Merges a merge request and optionally removes the source branch.
- `glmr-list [<args>]`
Lists merge requests assigned to you. Additional `glab mr list` arguments can be passed.
### Issues
- `glissue-new [<title>]`
Creates a new issue. If a title is provided, it is used; otherwise an interactive prompt is opened.
- `glissue-close <issue>`
Closes the specified issue.
- `glissue-list [<args>]`
Lists open issues assigned to you. Additional `glab issue list` arguments can be passed.
### CI/CD
- `glci-status [<args>]`
Opens the current CI pipeline status in the browser.
- `glci-retry <pipeline>`
Retries the specified pipeline.
- `glci-latest`
Shows the latest pipeline.
### Repositories
- `glrepo-clone <project>`
Clones a repository.
- `glrepo-list [<args>]`
Lists all repositories you are a member of.
- `glrepo-open <project>`
Opens a repository in the browser.
- `glrepo-starred [<args>]`
Lists your starred repositories.
### Releases
- `glrelease-create "<title>" "<tag>"`
Creates a new release with the given title and tag.
### Search
- `glsearch <keyword>`
Searches for merge requests and issues matching the keyword.
## Environment variables
The plugin attempts to set the following variables if they are not already defined:
- `GITLAB_HOST` — taken from the first `machine` entry in `~/.netrc`.
- `GITLAB_TOKEN` — the corresponding `password` from `~/.netrc`.
## Usage
1. Install [`glab`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/cli#installation).
2. Enable the plugin in your `.zshrc`:
```zsh
plugins=(git glab)
