## Gitlab

The `Gitlab` toolkit contains tools that enable an LLM agent to interact with a gitlab repository. The tool is a wrapper for the [python-gitlab](https://github.com/python-gitlab/python-gitlab) library.

## Quickstart[​](#quickstart "Direct link to Quickstart")

1.  Install the python-gitlab library
2.  Create a Gitlab personal access token
3.  Set your environmental variables
4.  Pass the tools to your agent with `toolkit.get_tools()`

Each of these steps will be explained in great detail below.

1.  **Get Issues**\- fetches issues from the repository.
    
2.  **Get Issue**\- fetches details about a specific issue.
    
3.  **Comment on Issue**\- posts a comment on a specific issue.
    
4.  **Create Pull Request**\- creates a pull request from the bot’s working branch to the base branch.
    
5.  **Create File**\- creates a new file in the repository.
    
6.  **Read File**\- reads a file from the repository.
    
7.  **Update File**\- updates a file in the repository.
    
8.  **Delete File**\- deletes a file from the repository.
    

## Setup[​](#setup "Direct link to Setup")

### 1\. Install the `python-gitlab` library[​](#install-the-python-gitlab-library "Direct link to install-the-python-gitlab-library")

```
%pip install --upgrade --quiet  python-gitlab
```

### 2\. Create a Gitlab personal access token[​](#create-a-gitlab-personal-access-token "Direct link to 2. Create a Gitlab personal access token")

[Follow the instructions here](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/profile/personal_access_tokens.html) to create a Gitlab personal access token. Make sure your app has the following repository permissions:

*   read\_api
*   read\_repository
*   write\_repository

### 3\. Set Environmental Variables[​](#set-environmental-variables "Direct link to 3. Set Environmental Variables")

Before initializing your agent, the following environmental variables need to be set:

*   **GITLAB\_URL** - The URL hosted Gitlab. Defaults to “[https://gitlab.com”](https://gitlab.xn--com-9o0a/).
*   **GITLAB\_PERSONAL\_ACCESS\_TOKEN**\- The personal access token you created in the last step
*   **GITLAB\_REPOSITORY**\- The name of the Gitlab repository you want your bot to act upon. Must follow the format {username}/{repo-name}.
*   **GITLAB\_BRANCH**\- The branch where the bot will make its commits. Defaults to ‘main.’
*   **GITLAB\_BASE\_BRANCH**\- The base branch of your repo, usually either ‘main’ or ‘master.’ This is where pull requests will base from. Defaults to ‘main.’
