Example code

The following code examples demonstrate how to interact with the GitLab API.

# Get a list of all issues in a project
gitlab = Gitlab.client(endpoint: 'https://gitlab.com', private_token: 'YOUR_PRIVATE_TOKEN')
issues = gitlab.issues.list(project_id: '1234')
# Create a new issue in a project
gitlab = Gitlab.client(endpoint: 'https://gitlab.com', private_token: 'YOUR_PRIVATE_TOKEN')
issue = gitlab.issues.create(project_id: '1234', title: 'New issue', description: 'This is a new issue')
# Create a new merge request
gitlab = Gitlab.client(endpoint: 'https://gitlab.com', private_token: 'YOUR_PRIVATE_TOKEN')
merge_request = gitlab.merge_requests.create(project_id: '1234', source_branch: 'feature-branch', target_branch: 'master', title: 'New merge request')

The code examples above are just a few examples of how to interact with the GitLab API. You can find more information about the API and its capabilities on the GitLab documentation.
