prefect_gitlab.repositoriesIntegrations with GitLab.
The GitLab class in this collection is a storage block that lets Prefect agents
pull Prefect flow code from GitLab repositories.
The GitLab block is ideally configured via the Prefect UI, but can also be used
in Python as the following examples demonstrate.
Examples:
from prefect_gitlab.repositories import GitLabRepository
# public GitLab repository
public_gitlab_block = GitLabRepository(
name="my-gitlab-block",
repository="https://gitlab.com/testing/my-repository.git"
)
public_gitlab_block.save()
# specific branch or tag of a GitLab repository
branch_gitlab_block = GitLabRepository(
name="my-gitlab-block",
reference="branch-or-tag-name"
repository="https://gitlab.com/testing/my-repository.git"
)
branch_gitlab_block.save()
# private GitLab repository
private_gitlab_block = GitLabRepository(
name="my-private-gitlab-block",
repository="https://gitlab.com/testing/my-repository.git",
access_token="YOUR_GITLAB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN"
)
private_gitlab_block.save()
