glab-variable-import1
Import variables from a json file or standard input.
Usage
glab variable
import
[flags]
Overview
The inverse of glab variable export. Reads a JSON array of variable objects, in the same shape export --output json emits.
The command:
- •
-
Reads from standard input, or from a file with
--input-file.
- •
-
Imports into the current project by default. Use
--groupto import into a group instead.
- •
-
Stops with an error if a variable already exists. Pass
--skip-existingto skip those and continue.
Hidden variables' values aren't included in export output, so re-importing one is skipped with a warning. Set its value again with glab variable set --hidden.
Options
-g, --group=""
Select a group or subgroup. Ignored if a repository argument is set.
-i, --input-file=""
Read the variables JSON from this file instead of standard input.
-R, --repo=""
Select another repository. You can use either OWNER/REPO or GROUP/NAMESPACE/REPO. The full URL or Git URL is also accepted.
--skip-existing[=false]
Skip variables that already exist instead of failing.
Options inherited from parent commands
-h, --help[=false]
Show help for this command.
