Overview

This node operation updates a specific dist-tag for an NPM package within a GitLab project. It is useful for managing package versions by modifying tags such as 'latest' or 'beta' to point to different package versions. For example, a developer can use this to promote a beta version of a package to the latest stable release tag.

Use Case Examples

  1. Updating the 'latest' dist-tag of an NPM package in a GitLab project to a new version.
  2. Changing a package's dist-tag to point to a different version for testing or deployment purposes.
