GitLab

Use OpenGPT0 in GitLab issues and merge requests.

OpenGPT0 integrates with your GitLab workflow through your GitLab CI/CD pipeline or with GitLab Duo.

In both cases, OpenGPT0 will run on your GitLab runners.

GitLab CI

OpenGPT0 works in a regular GitLab pipeline. You can build it into a pipeline as a CI component

Here we are using a community-created CI/CD component for OpenGPT0 — nagyv/gitlab-opengpt0.

Features

Use custom configuration per job: Configure OpenGPT0 with a custom configuration directory, for example ./config/#custom-directory to enable or disable functionality per OpenGPT0 invocation.
Minimal setup: The CI component sets up OpenGPT0 in the background, you only need to create the OpenGPT0 configuration and the initial prompt.
Flexible: The CI component supports several inputs for customizing its behavior

Setup

Prepare the provider runtime on your GitLab runner. For CI, a local Ollama model is usually easier to run than the interactive Browser provider.

Add the following to your .gitlab-ci.yml file.

include:
  - component: $CI_SERVER_FQDN/nagyv/gitlab-opengpt0/opengpt0@2
    inputs:
      config_dir: ${CI_PROJECT_DIR}/opengpt0-config
      command: optional-custom-command
      message: "Your prompt here"

For more inputs and use cases check out the docs for this component.

GitLab Duo

OpenGPT0 integrates with your GitLab workflow. Mention @opengpt0 in a comment, and OpenGPT0 will execute tasks within your GitLab CI pipeline.

Features

Triage issues: Ask OpenGPT0 to look into an issue and explain it to you.
Fix and implement: Ask OpenGPT0 to fix an issue or implement a feature. It will create a new branch and raise a merge request with the changes.
Secure: OpenGPT0 runs on your GitLab runners.

Setup

OpenGPT0 runs in your GitLab CI/CD pipeline, here’s what you’ll need to set it up:

Configure your GitLab environment
Set up CI/CD
Prepare the provider runtime
Create a service account
Configure CI/CD variables

Create a flow config file, here’s an example:

    Please execute the requested task using the available GitLab tools.
    Be thorough in your analysis and provide clear explanations.

    Please use the glab CLI to access data from GitLab. The glab CLI has already been authenticated. You can run the corresponding commands.

    If you are asked to summarize an MR or issue or asked to provide more information then please post back a note to the MR/Issue so that the user can see it.
    You don't need to commit or push up changes, those will be done automatically based on the file changes you make.
