## tk bootstrap gitlab

Bootstrap toolkit components in a GitLab repository

### Synopsis

The bootstrap gitlab command creates the GitLab repository if it doesn't exists and
commits the toolkit components manifests to the master branch.
Then it configures the target cluster to synchronize with the repository.
If the toolkit components are present on the cluster,
the bootstrap command will perform an upgrade if needed.

```
tk bootstrap gitlab [flags]
```

### Examples

```
  # Create a GitLab API token and export it as an env var
  export GITLAB_TOKEN=<my-token>

  # Run bootstrap for a private repo owned by a GitLab group
  tk bootstrap gitlab --owner=<group> --repository=<repo name>

  # Run bootstrap for a repository path
  tk bootstrap gitlab --owner=<group> --repository=<repo name> --path=dev-cluster

  # Run bootstrap for a public repository on a personal account
  tk bootstrap gitlab --owner=<user> --repository=<repo name> --private=false --personal=true 

  # Run bootstrap for a private repo hosted on a GitLab server 
  tk bootstrap gitlab --owner=<group> --repository=<repo name> --hostname=<domain>

```

### Options

```
  -h, --help                help for gitlab
      --hostname string     GitLab hostname (default "gitlab.com")
      --interval duration   sync interval (default 1m0s)
      --owner string        GitLab user or group name
      --path string         repository path, when specified the cluster sync will be scoped to this path

Use semver manifests as kustomize base Instead of cloning the components repositories to download the base manifests, we build them in CI at release time and download them in tk install/bootstrap based on the provided semver. This speeds up the manifests generation from minutes to milliseconds. 5 years ago			`-v, --version string toolkit version (default "latest")`
