Overview

This node operation retrieves tags from a specific container registry repository within a GitLab project. It is useful for users who want to list or manage container image tags stored in GitLab's container registry. For example, a DevOps engineer might use this to automate the retrieval of image tags for deployment pipelines or auditing purposes.

Use Case Examples

  1. Retrieve all tags for a container registry repository in a GitLab project to monitor available image versions.
  2. Automate cleanup scripts by fetching tags and identifying outdated images in the container registry.
