glab artifact-registry get-token

Get a short-lived access token for the GitLab Artifact Registry. (EXPERIMENTAL)

Synopsis

Exchange a GitLab credential for a short-lived access token scoped to the GitLab Artifact Registry. The command prints the bare token to stdout, so a shell can capture it directly, for example to feed docker login.

Prerequisites:

  • A GitLab Enterprise Edition (EE) instance on GitLab 19.1 or later.
  • Token exchange enabled on the instance (the gate_token_exchange_endpoint feature flag).

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/.
