glpushrule

CLI for managing Gitlab push rules across groups and repositories. Apply sweeping changes with one command.

Features:

• Show push rules across groups and repositories
• Add push rules to groups and repositories without existing push rules
• Edit push rules for groups and repositories with existing push rules

Planned features:

• Delete push rules across groups and repositories

Usage

Install glpushrule

# With npm
npm i -g glpushrule

# With yarn
yarn global add glpushrule

Create a new Gitlab Access Token

glpushrule needs read/write access to the API so it can show and edit push rules. In your Gitlab instance, create a new access token with the api scope.

Set the required environment variables

glpushrule requires the Environment variables GITLAB_HOST and GITLAB_TOKEN to be set. You can set them via a .env file, or in your shell.

To use a .env file, create a new file named .env in the directory you are executing glpushrule

# .env
GITLAB_HOST="https://gitlab.com/"
GITLAB_TOKEN="<YOUR_SECRET_TOKEN>"

Alternatively, you can set them in the shell as follows:

# Export them in the environment
export GITLAB_HOST="https://gitlab.com/"
export GITLAB_TOKEN="<YOUR_SECRET_TOKEN>"

# Or set them during execution
GITLAB_HOST="https://gitlab.com/" GITLAB_TOKEN="<YOUR_SECRET_TOKEN>" glpushrule --help

Execute glpushrule

Show existing push rules (Recommended to test if the correct groups and projects are matched):

glpushrule show --matcher "/regex/to/match/your/groups/and/projects/paths"

Add push rules to groups and projects without push rules:

glpushrule add --matcher "/regex/to/match/your/groups/and/projects/paths" --rule '{"commitMessageRegex": "^ci: .*"}'

Edit push rules for groups and projects with existing push rules:

glpushrule edit --matcher "/regex/to/match/your/groups/and/projects/paths" --rule '{"commitMessageRegex": "^ci: .*"}'

You can also set the --matcher and --rule flag as Environment variables:

# .env
GITLAB_HOST="https://gitlab.com/"
GITLAB_TOKEN="<YOUR_SECRET_TOKEN>"
MATCHER="/regex/to/match/your/groups/and/projects/paths"
PUSH_RULE='{
"commitMessageRegex": "^ci: .*"
}'

Available Push Rules

In the example above, the commit message regex is used as an example for adding and editing rules. The other available push rules can be found in the gitbeaker project, in the CreateAndEditPushRuleOptions interface:

export interface CreateAndEditPushRuleOptions {
  denyDeleteTag?: boolean;
  memberCheck?: boolean;
  preventSecrets?: boolean;
  commitMessageRegex?: string;
  commitMessagNegativeRegex?: string;
  branchNameRegex?: string;
  authorEmailRegex?: string;
  fileNameRegex?: string;
  maxFileSize?: number;
  commitCommitterCheck?: boolean;
  rejectUnsignedCommits?: boolean;
}
