Overview

This node operation uploads a specific Conan package file to a GitLab instance using the GitLab API. It is designed for managing Conan packages in GitLab's package registry, allowing users to update or add files such as conanfile.py, conanmanifest.txt, or conan_package.tgz for a given package version and channel. This is useful in CI/CD pipelines or automated package management workflows where Conan packages need to be programmatically maintained within GitLab.

Use Case Examples

  1. Uploading a new conanfile.py for version 1.0 of a package named 'my-package' under a specific user and channel.
  2. Updating the conan_package.tgz file for a stable channel release of a Conan package in GitLab.
