NAME

glab-securefile-update - Update a secure file in a project.

SYNOPSIS

glab securefile update [flags]

DESCRIPTION

Update a secure file in a project, identified by its name. The command asks for confirmation before updating; use -y to skip the prompt in scripts.

By default, the file is updated in the current project. Use --repo to target another project.

If the file content is unchanged, no update is performed.

Updating a secure file changes its ID. When you download the file afterward, reference it by --name instead of --id.

OPTIONS

-y, --yes[=false] Skip the confirmation prompt.

OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS

-h, --help[=false] Show help for this command.

-R, --repo="" Select another repository. You can use either OWNER/REPO or GROUP/NAMESPACE/REPO. The full URL or Git URL is also accepted.

EXAMPLE

# Update a secure file
glab securefile update "file.txt" securefiles/localfile.txt
# Skip the confirmation prompt
glab securefile update "file.txt" securefiles/localfile.txt -y
# Use the 'overwrite' alias
glab securefile overwrite "file.txt" securefiles/localfile.txt
