Overview

This node operation allows users to upload secure files to a specific GitLab project via the GitLab API. It is useful for automating the management of secure files within projects, such as adding sensitive configuration files or credentials securely. For example, a DevOps engineer can use this node to programmatically upload secure files to a project during a CI/CD pipeline setup.

Use Case Examples

  1. Uploading a secure file to a GitLab project to be used in CI/CD pipelines.
  2. Automating the addition of encrypted credentials or certificates to a project repository.
