# 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 |

## 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)
