Gitlab

The Gitlab toolkit contains tools that enable an LLM agent to interact with a gitlab repository. The tool is a wrapper for the python-gitlab library.

Quickstart

Install the python-gitlab library
Create a Gitlab personal access token
Set your environmental variables
Pass the tools to your agent with toolkit.get_tools()

Each of these steps will be explained in great detail below.

Get Issues- fetches issues from the repository.
Get Issue- fetches details about a specific issue.
Comment on Issue- posts a comment on a specific issue.
Create Pull Request- creates a pull request from the bot’s working branch to the base branch.
Create File- creates a new file in the repository.
Read File- reads a file from the repository.
Update File- updates a file in the repository.
Delete File- deletes a file from the repository.

Setup

1. Install the `python-gitlab` library

%pip install --upgrade --quiet  python-gitlab

2. Create a Gitlab personal access token

Follow the instructions here to create a Gitlab personal access token. Make sure your app has the following repository permissions:

read_api
read_repository
write_repository

3. Set Environmental Variables

Before initializing your agent, the following environmental variables need to be set:

GITLAB_URL - The URL hosted Gitlab. Defaults to “https://gitlab.com”.
GITLAB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN- The personal access token you created in the last step
GITLAB_REPOSITORY- The name of the Gitlab repository you want your bot to act upon. Must follow the format {username}/{repo-name}.
GITLAB_BRANCH- The branch where the bot will make its commits. Defaults to ‘main.’
GITLAB_BASE_BRANCH- The base branch of your repo, usually either ‘main’ or ‘master.’ This is where pull requests will base from. Defaults to ‘main.’

Example: Simple Agent

import os

from langchain.agents import AgentType, initialize_agent
from langchain_community.agent_toolkits.gitlab.toolkit import GitLabToolkit
from langchain_community.utilities.gitlab import GitLabAPIWrapper
from langchain_openai import OpenAI

API Reference:

# Set your environment variables using os.environ
os.environ["GITLAB_URL"] = "https://gitlab.example.org"
os.environ["GITLAB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN"] = ""
os.environ["GITLAB_REPOSITORY"] = "username/repo-name"
os.environ["GITLAB_BRANCH"] = "bot-branch-name"
os.environ["GITLAB_BASE_BRANCH"] = "main"

# This example also requires an OpenAI API key
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = ""

llm = OpenAI(temperature=0)
gitlab = GitLabAPIWrapper()
toolkit = GitLabToolkit.from_gitlab_api_wrapper(gitlab)
agent = initialize_agent(
    toolkit.get_tools(), llm, agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION, verbose=True
)

agent.run(
    "You have the software engineering capabilities of a Google Principle engineer. You are tasked with completing issues on a gitlab repository. Please look at the open issues and complete them by creating pull requests that solve the issues."
)
