The glab pipeline command, part of the official glab GitLab CLI tool, enables seamless management of CI/CD pipelines from the Linux terminal. Users can list recent pipelines with filters for status, branch, or user; view detailed pipeline info including jobs and stages; rerun or cancel specific pipelines; retry individual jobs; and trigger manual pipelines.

It leverages the GitLab API for real-time interactions, supporting both GitLab.com and self-hosted instances. Ideal for automation scripts, CI integrations, or quick status checks without browser access. Prerequisites include installing glab via package managers like apt/snap/brew and authenticating with glab auth login using tokens or OAuth.

Key benefits: reduces context-switching, supports output formats like YAML/JSON for parsing, and handles pagination for large projects. Enhances Git workflows alongside tools like git push triggers.

Requires glab installation and GitLab authentication with CI permissions (Developer+ role). Limited to API-available features; some enterprise-only options unavailable on GitLab.com. Paginated results may need --page for full lists.
