NAME
glab-orbit - GitLab Knowledge Graph commands. (EXPERIMENTAL)

SYNOPSIS
glab orbit [] [flags]

DESCRIPTION
Run the Orbit CLI for the GitLab Knowledge Graph (product name: Orbit).

Every command and flag is forwarded verbatim to the managed Orbit binary, which is downloaded, verified, and kept up to date for you on first use. glab orbit remote <command> authenticates automatically using your resolved GitLab credential; all other commands run the binary with no extra environment.

Prerequisites:

•   Run glab auth login to authenticate.

•   Orbit must be enabled for your namespace (the knowledge_graph feature flag).

Configuration options:

•   orbit_local_auto_run: Skip the run confirmation prompt.

•   orbit_local_auto_download: Skip the download confirmation prompt.

For more information, see the Orbit documentation ⟨https://docs.gitlab.com/orbit/⟩.

This feature is an experiment and is not ready for production use. It might be unstable or removed at any time. For more information, see https://docs.gitlab.com/policy/development_stages_support/.
