NAME
     glab-orbit - GitLab Knowledge Graph commands. (EXPERIMENTAL)

SYNOPSIS
     glab orbit [] [flags]

DESCRIPTION
     Run the Orbit CLI for the GitLab Knowledge Graph (product name: Orbit).

     Every  command  and flag is forwarded verbatim to the managed Orbit binary,
     which is downloaded, verified, and kept up to date for you  on  first  use.
     glab orbit remote <command> authenticates automatically using your resolved
     GitLab credential; all other commands run the binary with no extra environ-
     ment.

     Prerequisites:

     * Run glab auth login to authenticate.

     * Orbit  must  be	enabled  for your namespace (the knowledge_graph feature
       flag).

     Configuration options:

     * orbit_local_auto_run: Skip the run confirmation prompt.

     * orbit_local_auto_download: Skip the download confirmation prompt.

     For  more	information,  see  the	Orbit  documentation  <https://docs.git-
     lab.com/orbit/>.

     This  feature  is	an  experiment	and is not ready for production use.  It
     might be unstable or removed  at  any  time.   For  more  information,  see
     https://docs.gitlab.com/policy/development_stages_support/.
