glab(1) glab(1) NAME glab-variable-import - Import variables from a JSON file or standard input. SYNOPSIS glab variable import [flags] DESCRIPTION The inverse of glab variable export. Reads a JSON array of variable ob- jects, in the same shape export --output json emits. The command: * Reads from standard input, or from a file with --input-file. * Imports into the current project by default. Use --group to import into a group instead. * Stops with an error if a variable already exists. Pass --skip-existing to skip those and continue. Hidden variables' values aren't included in export output, so re-importing one is skipped with a warning. Set its value again with glab variable set --hidden. OPTIONS -g, --group="" Select a group or subgroup. Ignored if a repository ar- gument is set. -i, --input-file="" Read the variables JSON from this file instead of standard input. -R, --repo="" Select another repository. You can use either OWNER/REPO or GROUP/NAMESPACE/REPO. The full URL or Git URL is also accepted. --skip-existing[=false] Skip variables that already exist instead of failing. OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS -h, --help[=false] Show help for this command.
