Overview

This node operation updates a specific dist-tag for an NPM package within a GitLab project. It is useful for managing package versions and tags in a GitLab project's package registry, allowing users to modify which version a dist-tag points to. For example, it can be used to update the 'latest' tag to point to a new package version after a release.

Use Case Examples

  1. Updating the 'latest' dist-tag of an NPM package to a new version in a GitLab project.
  2. Changing a dist-tag to point to a different package version for testing or deployment purposes.
