About This Workflow
This n8n workflow offers a simple yet powerful way to access specific information about a GitLab repository. Designed for developers, project managers, or anyone needing quick insights into their version control system, it directly queries GitLab to retrieve details such as the repository's name, owner, description, and other relevant metadata. The manual trigger ensures that you have full control over when the data is fetched, making it ideal for on-demand checks, status updates, or as an initial step for more complex reporting and automation tasks. It's a foundational tool for enhancing visibility into your development projects without requiring constant polling.
