How to run Save-GitLabAPIConfiguration from PSGitLab 2.7.0

Question

I'm trying to use this package to automate some GitLab processes with PowerShell. https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/PSGitLab/2.7.0

For my first test, I just ran this: Get-GitLabUser -ID "myuser"

and got this output; then tried to run Save-GitLabAPIConfiguration, but not sure what I'm supposed to enter for "Token" nor "Domain". I tried the domain I log with, and the URL of the GitLab website that I use; but it says it doesn't match the RegEx pattern.

Answer 1

The info for the tokens is here: I found the token info here: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/profile/personal_access_tokens.html

Rather than looking online for doc, I should have run the get-help commands:

BizTalk:\Applications> get-help Save-GitLabAPIConfiguration -examples

When I put http: on the domain it worked. Seems like they really want a URL, not a domain.
