Creating a bunch of Gitlab group projects using a Ruby wrapper

Just recently I needed a way to create +50 projects. Being the lazy ops guy I am, I quickly whipped this up using NARKOZ’s Ruby wrapper.

The tricky part was switching the context to a different namespace which was only possible using two undocumented parameters.
Patch sent and awaiting approval merged.

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'gitlab'

group_id = 5
token    = 'sekret'
endpoint = 'http://gitlab.tld/api/v3'

projects = %w(
  project-1
  project-2
  project-n
  ...
)

Gitlab.configure do |config|
  config.endpoint      = endpoint
  config.private_token = token
end

projects.each do |proj|
  Gitlab.create_project(
    proj,
    :description    => "Project #{proj}",
    :issues_enabled => true,
    :wiki_enabled   => false,
    :group_id       => group_id,
    :namespace_id   => group_id
  )
end
