Overview

This node operation deletes a specific release from a GitLab project by targeting the release associated with a given Git tag. It is useful for automating the removal of outdated or incorrect releases in a GitLab repository. For example, a user can specify the project ID and the tag name of the release to be deleted, and the node will perform the deletion via the GitLab API.

Use Case Examples

  1. Deleting a release from a project by specifying the project ID and the release tag name to clean up old releases.
  2. Automating release management workflows by removing releases that are no longer needed.
