If you are using a specific package manager registry, the URL structure changes slightly: GitLab generic packages repository
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: " \ --location \ --output \ "https://example.com" Use code with caution.
Generic packages are files stored in GitLab without a specific package manager format. Use this pattern for basic file downloads: download gitlab package curl
Required if your GitLab instance uses object storage, as the request may be redirected.
To download a package from the GitLab Package Registry using curl , you must use the GitLab Packages API with proper authentication. The specific command depends on the package type (e.g., generic, Maven, npm) and the authentication method you choose. 1. Download Generic Packages If you are using a specific package manager
Saves the file locally with the specified name. --header: Pass your authentication token. 2. Authentication Methods
If your tool does not support headers, you can use HTTP Basic Authentication : curl --user "gitlab-ci-token:$CI_JOB_TOKEN" . 3. Download from Specific Registries To download a package from the GitLab Package
With HTTP headers: download: stage: test script: - | curl --header "JOB-TOKEN: $CI_JOB_TOKEN" \ --location \ --output file.txt \ about.gitlab.com
