token in a file

[LuigiaCristiano]

Hi,
would it possible to give as input for the token, a file containing the token string and not directly the token ?
e.g -t tokenfilename
instead of -t token

Thanks

Currently your only options are to paste the token directly to the --token/-t option or to use a configuration file using the --config option in which you can store the token.

A config file called config.yaml could look like this:

- extract:
      token: "YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
      url: ["PROJECT_URL_HERE"]

To run gitlab2prov using your configuration file issue the following command line invocation:

gitlab2prov --config config.yaml

If you want to validate your configuration file before executing the tool, i.e. check for errors, you can use the --validate option like this:

gitlab2prov --validate config.yaml
