## tk bootstrap gitlab

Bootstrap GitLab repository

### Synopsis


The bootstrap command creates the GitLab repository if it doesn't exists and
commits the toolkit components manifests to the master branch.
Then it configure 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.
