Overview

This node interacts with the GitLab API to create a new repository tag for a specified project. It is useful for automating version control workflows, such as tagging releases or marking specific points in the project history. For example, it can be used to programmatically add tags to a GitLab project repository during a CI/CD pipeline.

Use Case Examples

Creating a new tag in a GitLab project repository to mark a release version.
Automating tagging of commits in a project repository based on deployment events.

Troubleshooting

Ensure the project ID or URL-encoded path is correct to avoid 404 errors.
Verify that the authentication token has sufficient permissions to create tags in the repository.
Check the request body schema to ensure all required fields for creating a tag are provided.
If skipping authentication, ensure the GitLab instance allows unauthenticated requests for this operation.
