# glab Plugin
## Overview
The glab plugin provides access to the GitLab CLI tool (`glab`), bringing GitLab to your command line. Work with GitLab directly from the terminal without leaving your workflow.
## What is glab?
`glab` is an open-source GitLab CLI tool that allows you to work with GitLab directly from your terminal. It provides a unified interface for managing repositories, issues, merge requests, pipelines, and more.
## Quick Start

```bash
curl -sL https://git.io/glab | sh
# or with Homebrew
