prefect-gitlab

Welcome!

prefect-gitlab is a Prefect collection for working with GitLab repositories.

Getting Started

Python setup

Requires an installation of Python 3.7+.

We recommend using a Python virtual environment manager such as pipenv, conda or virtualenv.

This collection is designed to work with Prefect 2.3.0 or higher. For more information about how to use Prefect, please refer to the Prefect documentation.

Installation

Install prefect-gitlab with pip:

pip install prefect-gitlab

Then, register to view the storage block on Prefect Cloud:

prefect block register -m prefect_gitlab

Note, to use the load method on Blocks, you must already have a block document saved through code or saved through the UI.

Creating a GitLab storage block

In Python

from prefect_gitlab 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()

In the UI
