Its role is narrower than a general release manager: it turns release metadata from CI jobs or command-line flags into GitLab Release objects. ### Projektgeschichte The project was introduced with GitLab 12.10 and published as a separate GitLab-hosted repository in 2020. The repository documentation describes it as a decoupled utility that can be invoked by GitLab Runner, third-party CI systems, or directly from a shell. GitLab's documentation later moved release automation toward the broader glab CLI. The Release CLI page marks the feature as deprecated in GitLab 18.0 and describes a migration path from release-cli to glab for CI/CD jobs using the release keyword. ### Adoptionsgeschichte Release CLI's adoption followed GitLab CI/CD rather than a broad stand-alone CLI community. It mattered most to teams that wanted release objects, changelog text, tag metadata, and asset links produced as part of a GitLab pipeline. ### Wie es verwendet wird Practitioners use release-cli inside jobs defined in .gitlab-ci.yml, often on tag pipelines, where CI-provided values such as CI_JOB_TOKEN and CI_PROJECT_ID authenticate the Releases API call. The tool can also create, read, and update releases from a terminal when supplied with an access token and project information. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren For package maintainers, release-cli is an example of a vendor-specific CI helper that escaped the container image boundary and became a packaged binary in systems such as Homebrew. Its maintenance-mode status also shows the lifecycle risk of packaging a narrow integration tool after the vendor folds the workflow into a larger CLI. ### Zeitleiste - 2020: Introduced with GitLab 12.10 and released as v0.1.0. - 2025: v0.24.0 appeared in the project release stream. - GitLab 18.0: GitLab documentation marked release-cli as deprecated in favor of glab. ### Related projects - GitLab Runner passes CI job context to release-cli when release jobs are executed. - glab is the GitLab CLI named by GitLab documentation as the migration target for release workflows. ### Quellen - - - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger-Risiko:** grün / niedrig - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
