Overview

This node operation retrieves package files from a specific package within a project in GitLab using the GitLab API v4.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetch all files of a package in a project to verify contents before deployment.
  2. Automate retrieval of package files metadata for reporting or auditing purposes.
