The clone command with a specified group supports automatic pagination enabling cloning of more than 100 projects at once.

Jesenko Mehmedbašić requested to merge jmpartisia/cli:cli-1034_recursive_sync_page_handling into main

Description

The glab repo clone command supports manual pagination, but require the caller to interact with the groups/projects API elsewhere to retrieve the actual number of projects/pages.

This change adds a --paginate flag to glab repo clone which automatically pages all projects from the specified group, allowing the caller to clone more than 100 repositories at once.

The flag name --paginate was chosen to be consistent with glab api.

How has this been tested?

This has been tested on a group with 183 repositories running the following command:

GITLAB_TOKEN=aabbcc glab repo clone -g <group> -p

Prior to the change exactly 100 repositories were cloned. After the change all 183 are cloned, the command is now:

GITLAB_TOKEN=aabbcc glab repo clone -g <group> -p --paginate

The development/testing has been done on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed against gitlab.com.
