As with any programmatic activities, you'd most probably need to use one of the available APIs [1]. In the simplest case, GitLab can provide you with a "token" which you then include to HTTP requests operating that API. Requests can be made using tools such as curl or wget - it's not necessary to resort to a real programming language. On the other hand, popular scripting PLs - such as Python, for instance - might even have ready-made modules to make calling GitLab API easier. [...] > 1.

I assume you're the administrator. What happens if you delete the user account for a student - are all their repositories nuked? Or you want these accounts to last for as long their respective owners participate in the courses you teach (I mean, for more than a single educational timespan)? 1. https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
