Invocation after installation fails

[samirshaik]

Installed using command: npm install git-lab-cli -g

How was it fixed (note that the command without --global as mentioned on your site doesn't work):
git config --global --add gitlab.url ""
git config --global --add gitlab.token ""

Opened up new terminal and tried command: lab --help

Expected Behavior:

C:\Users\sshaik>lab --help
Usage: index [options] [command]

gitlab command line utility

Options:
  -V, --version                 output the version number
  -h, --help                    output usage information

Commands:
  browse [options]              Open current branch page in gitlab
  compare [options]             Open compare page between two branches
  merge-request|mr [options]    Create merge request on gitlab
  merge-requests|mrs [options]  Opens merge requests page for the repo

Actual Behavior:

C:\Users\sshaik>lab --help
'true' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
child_process.js:656
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Command failed: git config --get gitlab.url || true
'true' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

As I understand correctly, you are saying --help command doesnt work without setting the git config global.

Any lab command should have asked for input for those variables. Ideally help doesnt need those variables. I will check and make an update if necessary.

Thank you for quick response. 1. As per the configuration mentioned in your ReadMe.md, you are missing "--global" in Git config command. I had to add it to make it work. 2. help command doesn't ask me to setup missing configuration as mentioned in the ReadMe.md file. Thanks,

Hey, I just installed it and cannot reproduce your issue.

1. The config does not store the git config as --global because the aim of this approach is to keep the credentials only for the current repository. The credentials get stored under your projects .git/config. If you want global config, either add the credentials to your global .gitignore manually or as ENV variables as stated in the README.

2. Can't reproduce it. I installed the application, went to an gitlab repository and run: lab -h everything worked as expected.

Closing since cannot reproduce.
