Overview

This node interacts with the GitLab API to update the distribution tag of an NPM package within a specific group. It is useful for managing package versions and tags in GitLab's package registry, allowing users to programmatically modify which version of a package a dist-tag points to. For example, it can be used to promote a package version to a 'latest' tag or to manage multiple release channels.

Use Case Examples

  1. Updating the 'latest' dist-tag of an NPM package in a GitLab group to point to a new version.
  2. Changing a dist-tag to manage beta or stable release channels for an NPM package within a GitLab group.
