Overview

This node operation updates a freeze period for a specific project in GitLab using the GitLab API. It is useful for managing project freeze periods programmatically, such as modifying the start and end dates of a freeze period to control when changes to the project are restricted. For example, a DevOps engineer might use this node to automate the adjustment of freeze periods during release cycles.

Use Case Examples

  1. Updating the freeze period dates for a project to prevent changes during a critical release window.
  2. Modifying freeze period details to reflect new project timelines.
