Description
This PR adds a repo update command to the GitLab CLI, addressing #914 (closed). This will allow editing repository information after the repo has been created (such as the description and default branch). It accepts the syntax
glab repo update <project> [--description foo] [--defaultBranch bar]
The syntax here is designed to be identical to the repo create command for simplicity.
Currently, the only fields modifiable with this command are description and default_branch. However, it is trivial to enable modification of extra fields. If someone would like a specific field, I'm happy to add it in this PR - let me know.
Although the API uses the verb 'edit', we chose to use 'update' here to be consistent with the rest of the glab CLI.
The <project> field should have identical syntax to the repo view command. Namely, it will accept the following formats:
- no argument provided (assume the current dir is a GitLab repo and edit the corresponding repo)
- project name (need to look up the username and prefix it with a slash)
-
user/project(can be passed verbatim to the API) - fully qualified GitLab URL
