Overview

This node operation allows uploading or updating a specific Conan package file in a GitLab repository using the GitLab API. It is useful for managing Conan package files such as conanfile.py, conanmanifest.txt, or conan_package.tgz within a GitLab project. Typical use cases include automating package file uploads during CI/CD pipelines or managing package versions programmatically.

Use Case Examples

  1. Uploading a new conanfile.py for version 1.0 of a package named 'my-package' under a specific user and channel.
  2. Updating the conan_package.tgz file for a stable channel package to ensure the latest binaries are available.
