fullsend repos

Manage per-repo installations across multiple orgs via a declarative repos.yaml manifest. Compare the manifest's desired state against actual forge state and report installation status and configuration drift.

Global flags

These flags are inherited by all repos subcommands:

Flag	Default	Description
--gitlab-token		GitLab personal or project access token (overrides GITLAB_TOKEN env var)

Commands

Command	Description
fullsend repos migrate <org>	Migrate an org from per-org to per-repo install
fullsend repos install [repos...]	Converge repos to the desired state defined in a manifest
fullsend repos uninstall <repos...>	Tear down fullsend from repos and remove from manifest
fullsend repos status	Compare manifest against actual repo state
fullsend repos set-default <key> <value>	Set or remove a platform-level default in repos.yaml

repos migrate

One-command migration from per-org to per-repo fullsend installation. For each repo enrolled in the org's per-org config:

1. Check inference WIF status; provision if needed
2. Install per-repo (scaffold workflows, variables, secrets) with config carried over from the org config
3. Remove the repository entry from per-org config

Successfully migrated repositories — and selected repositories already detected as per-repo installed — are deleted from the source <org>/.fullsend/config.yaml. They are not left as enabled: false, which would queue them for legacy offboarding. Failed, unselected, and pre-existing disabled entries are left unchanged, as is unrelated configuration. Dry runs do not modify the source config.

Generates a repos.yaml manifest reflecting the migrated state. When a repos.yaml already exists (e.g. from a previous --repo-filtered run), newly migrated repos are merged into it instead of overwriting it. Re-running after a partial migration picks up where it left off.

Config carry-over

The migrate command maps portable fields from the org-level config.yaml into each repo's per-repo .fullsend/config.yaml:

Org config field	Per-repo config field	Notes
agents	agents	Full deep copy including enabled state
allowed_remote_resources	allowed_remote_resources	Default resources are merged in
create_issues	create_issues	Deep copy of allow targets
defaults.roles	roles	Per-repo overrides from repos.<name>.roles take precedence
defaults.runtime	runtime	Only when explicitly set
kill_switch	kill_switch	Only when active
defaults.status_notifications	status_notifications	Deep copy

The following org config fields have no per-repo equivalent and are not carried over. A warning is emitted for each:

• defaults.max_implementation_retries
• defaults.auto_merge

Note: Any automated process that keeps the org-level config.yaml up to date (e.g., agent source pinning) needs to be replicated for each migrated repo's .fullsend/config.yaml.

fullsend repos migrate <org> --project <gcp-project>

Flags

Flag	Default	Description
--project	(required)	GCP project ID for inference
--repo		Filter to specific repos (repeatable, supports globs)
--dry-run	false	Preview only
--direct	false	Push scaffold to default branch instead of PR
--concurrency	4	Parallel limit (1-32)
-f, --manifest	repos.yaml	Output path for generated repos.yaml

Required GCP permissions

• roles/iam.workloadIdentityPoolAdmin
• roles/resourcemanager.projectIamAdmin

repos install

Converge repos to the desired state defined in a manifest. This is the primary command for managing per-repo installations — it handles adding repos to the manifest, provisioning new repos, repairing component drift (workflow, thin callers, variables, secrets, pipeline schedules, GitLab poller protected-ref pipeline access — a disabled GitLab schedule is reported as drift and reactivated only when --reactivate-schedules is passed), repairing scaffold content drift (including structural rewrites of .gitlab/ci/fullsend-pipeline.yml at an unchanged template ref, and removal of a leftover .gitlab/ci/fullsend-dispatch.yml from installs predating #7707), and upgrading scaffold refs.

When the manifest file does not exist and positional repo arguments are provided, repos install bootstraps a new manifest (version: 1), adds the specified repos, and writes the file. The --forge flag is required in this case. This enables a greenfield setup without running repos migrate or manually creating the YAML first.

Runs in two phases:

1. Manifest add — repos specified as positional arguments that are not already in the manifest are added (--forge is required when the target platform cannot be inferred). Per-repo overrides (--inference-region, --fullsend-ref, --mint-url, --allowed-remote-resources, --runtime) are written to the manifest entry.
2. Converge — all manifest repos are converged through a unified probe → diff → apply pipeline. Repos whose shim workflow is not yet on the default branch are freshly installed (scaffold files, variables, secrets, a declared configuration preset as .fullsend/config.base.yaml, and a canonical managed .fullsend/config.yaml when the repository is managed) onto the initialization branch (fullsend/scaffold-install). That includes a re-run while the initialization PR/MR is still open: variables and secrets may already exist from the first run, but the installer still updates the same initialization PR rather than opening a competing upgrade PR. Repos whose workflow is already on the default branch are checked for drift (workflow, thin callers, variables, secrets, pipeline schedules, GitLab poller protected-ref pipeline access — repaired automatically, except a disabled GitLab schedule, which is reported as drift and reactivated only with --reactivate-schedules), scaffold content drift (repaired automatically, including structural rewrites of .gitlab/ci/fullsend-pipeline.yml at an unchanged template ref, and removal of a leftover .gitlab/ci/fullsend-dispatch.yml from installs predating #7707), declared configuration-preset drift against .fullsend/config.base.yaml (replaced wholesale; .fullsend/config.yaml is preserved), managed .fullsend/config.yaml drift (replaced wholesale for managed repositories; unmanaged files are left untouched), and scaffold ref drift (upgraded automatically).

defaults.config and per-repository config declare a sparse typed managed configuration for .fullsend/config.yaml (ADR 0122). They share the per-repo config schema except runtime and allowed_remote_resources, which remain the existing manifest shorthands — putting either key inside config fails validation. defaults.config opts every repository in; a repository config (including config: {}) opts in only that repository. Unknown fields fail validation. This is not config_base, which copies a preset to .fullsend/config.base.yaml. Every managed file carries an ownership marker; a pre-existing .fullsend/config.yaml that lacks the marker is reported by repos status as "managed configuration (adoption required)" rather than ordinary drift, and install/convergence leave it untouched until it is adopted (manually edited to carry the marker, or replaced with the rendered managed body). Once a file carries the marker, install writes the canonical sparse file, repos status reports whole-file differences as drift, and convergence rewrites it. Repositories with neither declaration keep their existing file and are excluded from these checks. See Repo Management — Managed configuration. Before any write of a managed file, install and converge also compare the candidate and current effective configurations through the full runtime accessor chain (kill_switch, roles, allowed_remote_resources, agent enabled: false suppressions, and create_issues.allow_targets). A less-restrictive candidate is rejected unless the manifest explicitly declares that relaxation; status and install output identify the affected keys.

fullsend repos install acme/new-repo --forge github --direct

When repos are specified as positional arguments, only those repos are processed. Glob patterns (e.g. acme/*) are matched against manifest entries. When no repos are specified, all manifest repos are converged. Credentials are required only for the forges of the selected repos: a GitLab-only selection does not need GH_TOKEN, and a GitHub-only selection does not need GITLAB_TOKEN. An unfiltered run still requires credentials for every forge present in the manifest.

Flags

Flag	Default	Description
-f, --manifest	repos.yaml	Path or URL to repos.yaml manifest
--dry-run	false	Preview what would change without making modifications
--concurrency	4	Max parallel operations (1-32)
--roles	triage,coder,review,fix,retro,prioritize	Agent roles to install. On a fresh install of a repo with a declared configuration preset, the preset's own roles take effect instead of this default unless --roles is explicitly passed on the command line.
--direct	false	Push scaffold directly to default branch (skip PR)
--inference-project		GCP project ID for inference (written as FULLSEND_GCP_PROJECT_ID secret)
--inference-wif-provider		Full WIF provider resource name (projects/{number}/locations/global/workloadIdentityPools/{pool}/providers/{id}); uses this provider for all repos instead of deriving per-repo providers. Project number is embedded in the path, so no auto-derivation is needed.
--forge		Forge type for new repos (github or gitlab). Required when adding repos not already in the manifest; inferred from existing platform sections when unambiguous.
--force	false	Allow scaffold ref downgrades
--reactivate-schedules	false	Reactivate required GitLab pipeline schedules that exist but are disabled (leave disabled by default so off-system polling setups are not silently reverted)
--inference-region		Per-repo GCP inference region override (default: global when --inference-project is set; install-time only, not stored in the manifest)
--fullsend-ref		Per-repo fullsend workflow ref override
--mint-url		Per-repo mint URL override
--allowed-remote-resources		Per-repo allowed remote resources override. Each entry must be a valid HTTPS URL prefix ending with a trailing slash (no double-encoded %25 sequences).
--runtime		Agent runtime (claude, pi, codex) recorded for repos this command adds; existing entries keep their runtime / defaults.runtime
--vendor	false	Vendor binary, reusable workflows, actions, and agent content into each repo for offline CI. Can also be set via defaults.vendor or per-repo vendor in the manifest. By default, the binary is auto-resolved from --fullsend-ref; use --fullsend-binary or --fullsend-source to provide it explicitly.
--fullsend-binary		Path to a pre-built Linux fullsend binary to upload when vendoring instead of auto-resolving (requires --vendor)
--fullsend-source		Path to a fullsend source checkout for content and cross-compile instead of auto-detecting or fetching from GitHub (requires --vendor)
--gitlab-url		GitLab instance URL (e.g. https://gitlab.example.com); sets gitlab.url in the manifest and implies --forge=gitlab when no forge is specified. Private-CA instances also need runner tls-ca-file / CI_SERVER_TLS_CA_FILE — see Private CA (self-hosted GitLab)
--gitlab-bot-token		GitLab bot PAT for free-tier instances that don't support project access tokens (env: FULLSEND_GITLAB_BOT_TOKEN)
--gitlab-role-migration		GitLab role-credential gate: enforced or rollback. Ordinary unflagged repos install provisions role credentials and cuts over to enforced automatically. Passing enforced explicitly assumes drain the same way ordinary install does and does not require --gitlab-role-cutover-drained, unlike --gitlab-role-cutover. Use rollback only for explicit emergency recovery (with --gitlab-role-rollback-confirmed when leaving a role-required gate, migrating or enforced). Leftover migrating and disabled values are not operator-settable.
--gitlab-role-registry		Path to administrator GitLab role registry JSON (custom roles: credential references and policy, never secret values). Written as the protected unmasked FULLSEND_GITLAB_ROLE_REGISTRY variable.
--gitlab-role-token		Administrator-provided GitLab role PAT (role=token, repeatable) for free-tier enrollment or a custom own credential. Values are never logged.
--gitlab-role-cutover	false	Explicit retry of GitLab role cutover: verify every registered role, enable fail-closed enforced mode, and retire the shared FULLSEND_FORGE_TOKEN. Ordinary install already does this when roles are ready; this flag fails closed instead of deferring when cutover is not ready.
--gitlab-role-cutover-drained	false	Confirm that in-flight jobs using the shared credential have drained; required with --gitlab-role-cutover. Ordinary unflagged install treats drain as part of converging to the enforced desired state.
--gitlab-role-rollback-confirmed	false	Confirm reopening the shared-credential path when changing a role-required gate (migrating or enforced) to rollback; required for that reverse transition.
--rotate-gitlab-roles	false	Force-rotate GitLab role credentials even if they are not near expiry. Auto-rotation of expiring, expired, revoked, or unverified own-credential roles already runs during repos install when the gate is migrating or enforced.
--rotate-gitlab-role		Rotate a specific GitLab role (repeatable). Default is all own-credential roles that are due. A reuse role follows its target.

GitLab bot token

For GitLab repos, repos install automatically creates a project access token at Developer (30) access with api scope and stores it as the FULLSEND_FORGE_TOKEN protected CI/CD variable, then provisions built-in Poller, Analyst, and Coder project access tokens (FULLSEND_GITLAB_*_TOKEN) on both fresh and existing shared-token installs. When every registered role is ready, the same unflagged run enables FULLSEND_GITLAB_ROLE_MIGRATION=enforced and retires FULLSEND_FORGE_TOKEN. If role credentials are only partially enrolled, cutover is deferred: the gate stays at the internal migrating intermediate (jobs fail closed on a missing role secret), the shared credential is left in place (never recreated), and a later unflagged repos install retries. An explicit emergency rollback (--gitlab-role-migration=rollback --gitlab-role-rollback-confirmed) reopens the shared-token path for install/converge-state purposes only; it does not restore shared-token runtime authentication. Custom roles are registered with --gitlab-role-registry; a custom role may reuse another registered credential or enroll its own token via --gitlab-role-token. In every gate mode, including leftover disabled and explicit rollback, GitLab CI poll/agent jobs (via .gitlab/ci/scripts/select-gitlab-role-token.sh) and fullsend poll / fullsend run select the registered role credential and fail closed if that secret is missing; they never fall back to FULLSEND_FORGE_TOKEN. The same repos install run rotates any own-credential role whose project access token is expiring, expired, revoked, or unverified: it creates a replacement PAT, writes it to the existing masked CI variable, and leaves the previous PAT active for 24 hours so in-flight jobs can finish. --rotate-gitlab-roles force-rotates every own-credential role; --rotate-gitlab-role=poller limits the run to one role. A failed rotation revokes only the unused replacement and leaves the previous secret in place. The shared FULLSEND_FORGE_TOKEN is never rotated or selected as a fallback. See gitlab-role-credentials.md. Developer is sufficient because poller state lives on dedicated unprotected branches rather than Maintainer-only CI/CD variables. Creating project access tokens requires GitLab Premium or Ultimate. The token expiry is computed in UTC so a local-timezone date cannot produce a token that GitLab already considers expired (active: false).

Developer (30) access also depends on the default branch's protection settings: the poller creates pipelines via the API (CreatePipeline), which requires merge or push access to the protected default branch (see ADR 0067). GitLab's default "Protected" preset grants Developers merge access, so this works out of the box. When a repo restricts both merge and push to Maintainers (or otherwise excludes Developer), repos install grants the poller project-access-token user (fullsend-poller, and fullsend-bot when that shared credential still exists) merge access — not push — on the protected default branch so the poller can create pipelines without widening Developer-class merge policy. If that grant is not possible (no poller token user id, or the GitLab API rejects the protection update), install fails closed with a remediation error instead of leaving dispatch silently broken. repos status reports protected-ref-pipeline drift when that access is later removed or tightened. If the permission gap reappears anyway, a CreatePipeline 403 now fails the poll cycle after persisting retry state (the event is retried, then dropped after three failures) rather than reporting a healthy cycle with nothing dispatched. --gitlab-bot-token will not help here: on Premium/Ultimate instances, repos install always creates its own Developer (30) project access token and ignores --gitlab-bot-token when that creation succeeds; the flag is only used as a fallback when project access tokens are unavailable (see below).

Install and converge also provision FULLSEND_DISPATCH_SECRET (a masked, protected CI/CD variable used to HMAC-sign dispatch variables and poller state) and create two unprotected poll-state branches (fullsend-poll-state-slash and fullsend-poll-state-events) holding an initial signed state.json. Existing FULLSEND_LAST_POLL_AT_* / FULLSEND_LABEL_STATE / FULLSEND_DISPATCHED_KEYS_* / FULLSEND_FAILED_KEYS_* values are migrated into those documents when present; otherwise each branch is seeded with an empty signed baseline. Already-written branch state is left untouched. After migrating, converge deletes any still-present retired poll-state CI/CD variables; they are treated as known-retired by the orphan detector (no warnings) and are not re-seeded on install.

On free-tier or Community Edition instances where project access tokens are not available, pass --gitlab-bot-token with a personal access token (PAT) that has api scope and at least Developer (30) access:

fullsend repos install group/project --forge gitlab --gitlab-bot-token glpat-xxxxxxxxxxxx

Project paths can include nested groups (e.g., group/subgroup/project):

fullsend repos install group/subgroup/project --forge gitlab --gitlab-bot-token glpat-xxxxxxxxxxxx

Common workflows

Converge all repos from a manifest (provision new, repair component drift, repair scaffold content drift, refresh a declared configuration preset, rewrite a drifted managed configuration file, upgrade refs):

fullsend repos install -f repos.yaml

Preview changes without modifying infrastructure:

fullsend repos install -f repos.yaml --dry-run

Add a new repo to the manifest and install it:

fullsend repos install acme/new-repo --forge github --direct

Install specific repos:

fullsend repos install acme/api acme/web

Add a GitLab repo and install it:

fullsend repos install group/project --forge gitlab --gitlab-url https://gitlab.example.com --direct

GitLab role cutover

Ordinary unflagged repos install provisions role credentials and, when every registered role is ready, enables fail-closed enforced mode and retires FULLSEND_FORGE_TOKEN. Drain in-flight shared-token jobs before that converge; live GitLab ACL and branch-rule checks remain deployment prerequisites. Partial enrollment defers cutover instead of failing the install or recreating the shared credential.

To retry cutover explicitly (fail closed instead of deferring):

fullsend repos install group/project --forge gitlab --gitlab-role-cutover --gitlab-role-cutover-drained

Cutover verifies built-in and registered-role credentials and mappings, requires project-token lifecycle inventory, enables fail-closed enforced mode, and then retires FULLSEND_FORGE_TOKEN. If retirement fails, a gate that this operation changed is restored to migrating; --dry-run performs the checks without writing the gate or secrets.

In fullsend repos status --json, gitlab_roles_ready is true only when the base role diagnosis, built-in role readiness, and every registered-role mapping are all ready when role credentials are required (migrating or enforced). Shared-token-only installations (leftover disabled or explicit rollback) retain the shared-credential readiness meaning and are not penalized for unprovisioned role secrets; their diagnostics likewise do not include built-in or registered role-readiness lines. In role-credential modes, the field may be false for an installation that previously reported ready while a custom-agent mapping was incomplete. Missing role secrets are drift in migrating and enforced.

Leaving a role-required gate (migrating or enforced) requires the explicit --gitlab-role-migration=rollback plus --gitlab-role-rollback-confirmed acknowledgement because it reopens the shared-credential path for install/converge-state purposes only; it does not restore shared-token runtime authentication. That emergency recovery path is separate from ordinary unflagged converge.

repos status

Read-only comparison of the repos.yaml manifest against actual forge state. Reports installation status and configuration drift for each repo, including declared configuration-preset drift against .fullsend/config.base.yaml and managed configuration drift against .fullsend/config.yaml.

fullsend repos status
fullsend repos status -f path/to/repos.yaml
fullsend repos status --repo acme/api --repo acme/web
fullsend repos status --repo "acme/*" --json

Flags

Flag	Short	Default	Description
--manifest	-f	repos.yaml	Path or HTTPS URL to manifest file
--repo			Filter to specific repos (repeatable, supports globs)
--json		false	Emit JSON output instead of table
--concurrency		8	Max parallel API calls

Output

Table output (default) shows per-repo status with columns:

• REPO — owner/repo name (GitLab repos with nested groups display as group/subgroup/project)
• REF — Current workflow ref. Named refs (tags, branches) display as-is (e.g., v2.3.0, main). When the ref is a commit SHA, shows a truncated 7-character SHA with the expected ref in parentheses (e.g., 6f8b968 (main)).
• STATUS — installed, not installed, or error
• DRIFT — Fields that differ from the manifest, scaffold files whose template content has changed, orphan files or variables no longer in the managed set, or none

For GitLab repos, table and JSON output also include per-role credential lifecycle diagnostic lines for roles needing attention (expiring, expired, revoked, unverified, or overlapping); roles that are ok or unconfigured do not get a diagnostic line. In migrating and enforced role-identity modes, missing, expired, or revoked role credentials are reported as gitlab-role:<name> drift. Status also appends built-in Poller/Analyst/Coder and registered-role readiness checks (secret presence, capability contract, and job-to-identity mapping). When token inventory is available, expired, revoked, or unverified role credentials also downgrade readiness; the base status path has no inventory and does not apply that lifecycle refinement. A present shared FULLSEND_FORGE_TOKEN is not treated as a substitute for a missing built-in role. Registered roles with no agent mapping are also reported as not ready. These checks do not change the role-identity gate or retire the shared token. Status also reports protected-ref-pipeline drift when the poller cannot create pipelines on the protected default branch (Developer merge/push is absent and the poller user is not in allowed_to_merge / allowed_to_push).

JSON output (--json) returns the full StatusResult object with per-repo details and aggregate summary counts.

Exit codes

The command returns a non-zero exit code when any repo has drift, is not installed, or encountered an error. This makes it suitable for CI checks.

Authentication

Requires a GitHub token via GH_TOKEN, GITHUB_TOKEN, or gh auth token. For GitLab repos, set the GITLAB_TOKEN environment variable or pass --gitlab-token to the repos command group.

repos uninstall

Tear down fullsend from the specified repos and remove them from the manifest. By default, the command tears down first (opening a PR to remove workflow files, then deleting variables and secrets via the API), then removes successfully-torn-down repos from the manifest. Partial failures leave the manifest entry intact so the user can retry.

File deletions (workflow YAML, .fullsend/config.yaml, and GitLab .gitlab-ci.yml unmerge) are delivered as a pull request unless --direct is set, matching repos install. Variable and secret deletions are API-only operations and always happen immediately. For GitLab repos, uninstall also deletes the fullsend-poll-state-slash and fullsend-poll-state-events branches (a missing branch is ignored so older installs still uninstall cleanly) while continuing to delete the retired poll-state CI/CD variables, the role-credential gate/registry/rotation-state variables, built-in and custom FULLSEND_GITLAB_*_TOKEN secrets, leftover FULLSEND_FORGE_TOKEN, and the corresponding fullsend-bot / fullsend-poller / fullsend-analyst / fullsend-coder / fullsend-role-* project access tokens. Token revocation is part of uninstall success: if listing or revoking those project access tokens fails, uninstall fails and the manifest entry is left in place for retry. Reinstall and converge do not revoke credentials that are already distributed.

Uninstall PR delivery intentionally reuses the same branch as repos install/converge (fullsend/scaffold-install), since already-deployed per-repo shims only exclude that branch name from dispatch. Known limitation: if an install PR is still open on that branch when uninstall runs (or an uninstall PR is open when install/converge runs), the existing PR is updated with the new commit but its title and body are left unchanged — the PR may show an install-oriented title while its diff now removes files, or vice versa. Check the PR's diff, not just its title, before merging when install and uninstall run close together against the same repo.

GCP WIF pool/provider cleanup for GitHub repos is handled separately via inference deprovision. This does not cover GitLab's shared gitlab-oidc WIF provider — for GitLab repos, see Operations § Per-repo teardown step 6 to revoke that repo's WIF trust.

When multiple repos are targeted (via globs or explicit bulk lists), the command prompts for confirmation unless --yes is set. Credentials are required only for the forges of the targeted repos.

fullsend repos uninstall acme/old-api
fullsend repos uninstall "acme/*" --yes
fullsend repos uninstall acme/old-api --dry-run
fullsend repos uninstall acme/old-api --manifest-only
fullsend repos uninstall acme/old-api --uninstall-only
fullsend repos uninstall acme/old-api --direct

For GitLab repos with nested group paths, use the full path:

fullsend repos uninstall group/subgroup/project

Modes

Flag	Teardown	Manifest removal
(default)	Yes	Yes (only if teardown succeeds)
--manifest-only	No	Yes
--uninstall-only	Yes	No

• Default: tear down + remove from manifest. Only repos whose teardown succeeds are removed from the manifest.
• --manifest-only: remove the manifest entry without tearing down the installation. Use when the repo is already deleted/transferred or was never successfully installed.
• --uninstall-only: tear down the installation but keep the manifest entry. Use for temporary teardown with intent to reinstall later.

Flags

Flag	Default	Description
-f, --manifest	repos.yaml	Path or URL to repos.yaml manifest
--dry-run	false	Preview what would be uninstalled without making changes
--yes	false	Skip confirmation prompt when multiple repos are targeted
--direct	false	Push file deletions to the default branch instead of opening a PR
--concurrency	4	Max parallel operations (1-32)
--manifest-only	false	Remove from manifest without tearing down
--uninstall-only	false	Tear down without removing from manifest

repos set-default

Set or remove a platform-level default in repos.yaml. An empty value removes the key. Creates the manifest with version: 1 if the file does not exist.

fullsend repos set-default <key> <value>
fullsend repos set-default github.fullsend_ref v2.5.0
fullsend repos set-default github.mint_url ""   # removes the key

Valid keys

Key	Type	Description
defaults.allowed_remote_resources	comma-separated HTTPS URL prefixes, each ending with /	URL prefixes allowed for remote resources (agents, policies, skills, plugins, profiles, providers, and base composition). Each entry must be a valid HTTPS URL ending with a trailing slash (no double-encoded %25 sequences).
defaults.runtime	claude, pi or codex	Agent runtime written as each repo's runtime: at install; a per-entry runtime overrides it (none stops the chain)
defaults.vendor	true or false	Vendor fullsend binary and content into each repo for offline CI; per-entry vendor overrides it. Currently GitHub-only; GitLab CI templates do not yet reference the vendored binary.
defaults.config_base.source	local path or HTTPS URL	Configuration preset written as .fullsend/config.base.yaml; a per-entry config_base.source overrides it (none disables inheritance). A local path is resolved relative to repos.yaml's directory and must not escape it; manifests loaded from an HTTPS URL must use an HTTPS preset URL. Fetch/validation semantics otherwise match github setup --config.
defaults.config_base.sha256	64-character SHA-256 hex	Optional digest that validates the fetched preset; a per-entry config_base.sha256 overrides it (none skips validation). Same semantics as github setup --config-hash.
github.url	URL	GitHub instance URL (default: https://github.com)
github.mint_url	URL	Token mint service URL (defaults to https://mint.fullsend.sh in public mode)
github.mint_mode	public or private	Controls the default mint URL: public defaults to https://mint.fullsend.sh; private requires an explicit mint_url (default: public)
github.fullsend_ref	ref string	Git ref to pin in scaffold workflow YAML
gitlab.url	URL	GitLab instance URL
gitlab.fullsend_ref	ref string	Git ref to pin in scaffold CI template files
gitlab.agent_runner_tags	comma-separated tags	CI runner tags for routing agent (data-plane) jobs
gitlab.control_runner_tags	comma-separated tags	CI runner tags for routing control-plane jobs (poll today). Independent of gitlab.agent_runner_tags; unset renders tags: [] (untagged)
gitlab.runner_tags	comma-separated tags	Deprecated alias for gitlab.agent_runner_tags. Still accepted; rewrites persist agent_runner_tags. On-disk persistence happens on repos set-default, repos install (only when it appends new manifest entries), and repos uninstall (only when it removes entries) — not repos converge, which resolves the alias in memory for rendering but does not rewrite repos.yaml

Flags

Flag	Default	Description
-f, --manifest	repos.yaml	Path to repos.yaml

Examples

Set GitLab agent runner tags:

fullsend repos set-default gitlab.agent_runner_tags fullsend-agent

Set multiple agent runner tags:

fullsend repos set-default gitlab.agent_runner_tags "fullsend-agent,gpu-runner"

Route control-plane jobs (poll) onto a cheaper runner fleet. gitlab.control_runner_tags is independent of gitlab.agent_runner_tags; left unset, control-plane jobs render tags: [] (untagged):

fullsend repos set-default gitlab.control_runner_tags fullsend-api

Remove agent runner tags:

fullsend repos set-default gitlab.agent_runner_tags ""

gitlab.runner_tags remains a deprecated alias that writes gitlab.agent_runner_tags:

fullsend repos set-default gitlab.runner_tags fullsend-agent

This alias rewrite is not scoped to set-default: repos install (only when it appends new manifest entries) and repos uninstall (only when it removes entries) also drop the deprecated gitlab.runner_tags key and persist gitlab.agent_runner_tags, even if you never ran set-default yourself. repos converge resolves the alias in memory for rendering scaffold files on every run, but it does not rewrite repos.yaml — a manifest that still has gitlab.runner_tags on disk keeps parsing correctly until a command that actually writes the manifest runs. Tooling that parses repos.yaml directly outside fullsend's own commands should prefer gitlab.agent_runner_tags when present and treat gitlab.runner_tags as deprecated.

Set the GitLab instance URL:

fullsend repos set-default gitlab.url https://gitlab.example.com
