DeployLane - GitLab-focused deployment helper CLI
Requires Python: >=3.10

# DeployLane (dlane)

GitLab-focused deployment helper CLI for **deterministic CI/CD
operations**.

DeployLane helps you manage GitLab project variables and deployment
workflows in a reproducible and auditable way — without committing
secrets into repositories.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

## 🚀 What is DeployLane?

DeployLane is a CLI tool that sits between your workstation and GitLab.

It allows you to:

-   🔐 Store GitLab credentials locally (not in repo)
-   📦 Export project variables into a YAML file
-   🔍 Diff local YAML vs GitLab variables
-   📋 Generate deterministic deployment plans
-   🧾 Produce reproducible `.env` files
-   🧮 Generate deployment proof manifests (hash-based audit artifacts)

All operations are deterministic and reproducible.

> ⚠️ `.deploylane/` is local-only. Do NOT commit it.
