Manually fetch a GitLab repository via n8n

How it works

1. 1.Execution starts when the user clicks execute on the manual trigger node.
2. 2.Output flows through a single main connection to the GitLab node.
3. 3.The GitLab node calls the get operation on the repository resource for the 'trial' repository.
4. 4.The repository details JSON is returned in the node output.

Use cases

• Quickly inspect the settings and metadata of a specific GitLab repository.
• Use as a manual first step feeding repository data into a larger workflow.

Requirements

• A GitLab account with read access to the 'trial' repository under owner shaligramshraddha.
• A valid GitLab API credential configured on the GitLab node in n8n.
• An n8n instance with the compatible gitlab-base node available.

Setup and testing in n8n

1. Open the workflow in the n8n editor and click Execute Workflow.
2. Confirm the GitLab node executes without credential errors.
3. Review the node output and verify the 'trial' repository name and details appear.
4. Optionally use an invalid access token to confirm an appropriate error is raised.
