Overview

This node operation allows uploading or updating a generic package file in a GitLab project using the GitLab API. It is useful for managing package files within a project's package registry, enabling automation of package file uploads or updates directly from n8n workflows. For example, it can be used to upload a new version of a package file to a specific project or update an existing package file in the GitLab generic package registry.

Use Case Examples

  1. Uploading a new package file to a GitLab project for distribution.
  2. Updating an existing package file in the GitLab generic package registry as part of a CI/CD pipeline.
