glab api supports multipart/form-data with --form
Introduced 2026-04-01 · score 0.96
HOW TO USE IT
When an API endpoint requires multipart/form-data, use `glab api` with `--form` fields; file values use `@<path>`.
glab api --method POST projects/:fullpath/wikis/attachments --form "file=@./image.png" --form "branch=main"WHY THIS HELPS
Send multipart form data to a GitLab API endpoint while working with a repository.
REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS
- Version: v1.91.0
- --method <method>: HTTP method; defaults to GET without parameters and POST when parameters are added. The example specifies POST.
- <endpoint> (required): GitLab API v4 endpoint path, or `graphql`; `:fullpath` expands to the current repository's full path.
- --form <key=value> (required): Add a multipart form field; repeat for additional fields. Changes the default HTTP method to POST. Prefix a file value with `@` and its path; use `@-` for stdin at most once. Do not combine with `--field`, `--raw-field`, or `--input`.
- Prerequisite: Authenticate `glab` with GitLab; in a Git directory, the command uses that directory's authenticated host.
