Overview

This node operation deletes a specific variable from a GitLab group using the GitLab API. It is useful for managing group-level variables by removing those that are no longer needed or should be revoked. For example, if a group variable contains sensitive information that should no longer be accessible, this operation can delete it securely.

Use Case Examples

  1. Deleting an obsolete API key stored as a group variable in GitLab.
  2. Removing a configuration variable from a GitLab group to prevent its use in CI/CD pipelines.
