The execution logic mostly shares the common pattern: + +- Parse the arguments and validate them. +- Communicate with GitLab Rails using [gitlabnet](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-shell/-/tree/main/internal/gitlabnet) package. For example, it can be checking whether a client is authorized to execute this particular command or asking for a personal access token in order to return it to the client. +- If a command is related to Git operations, establish a connection with Gitaly using [handler](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-shell/-/tree/main/internal/handler) and [gitaly](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-shell/-/tree/main/internal/gitaly) packages and provide two-way communication between Gitaly and the client. +- Return results to the client. + +[cmd/gitlab-shell/command](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-shell/-/tree/main/cmd/gitlab-shell/command) is using this package to build a particular command based on the passed arguments. |
