glab

brew install glab v1.103.0 MIT

GitLab command-line client for managing issues, merge requests, pipelines, and CI/CD from the shell.

Why you might care

Drop-in alternative to `git`-based GitLab workflows, letting you create/review MRs, run pipelines, and manage issues without leaving the terminal. Similar to GitHub's `gh` CLI but purpose-built for GitLab's API and enterprise features. Single Go binary, works with self-hosted GitLab instances.
