Lab wraps Git or Hub, making it simple to clone, fork, and interact with repositories on GitLab, including seamless workflows for creating merge requests, issues and snippets.
$ lab clone gitlab-com/infrastructure
# expands to:
$ git clone git@gitlab.com:gitlab-com/infrastructure
lab will look for hub and uses that as your git binary when available so you don't have to give up hub to use lab
$ lab version
git version 2.11.0
hub version 2.3.0-pre9
lab version 0.12.0
The hub tool made my life significantly easier and still does! lab is heavily inspired by hub and attempts to provide a similar feel.
