Overview

This node operation allows creating a new commit in a GitLab project's repository via the GitLab API. It is useful for automating repository changes such as adding, modifying, or deleting files programmatically. For example, it can be used in CI/CD pipelines to push updates or in automation workflows to manage project files without manual intervention.

Use Case Examples

  1. Automate committing changes to a GitLab repository after generating files.
  2. Create commits to update documentation or configuration files in a project repository.

Properties

Output

JSON

  • id - The ID or URL-encoded path of the project where the commit was created.
  • commit - Details of the created commit, including commit message, author, and changes.

Dependencies

  • GitLab API authentication token or API key credential

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the project ID is correctly URL-encoded and valid to avoid 404 errors.
  • Verify that the authentication token has sufficient permissions to create commits in the target repository.
  • Check that the request body schema matches the expected structure for creating commits to prevent validation errors.
