Tips

• Use glab ci status for a quick overview of the current pipeline
• Use glab ci view for an interactive pipeline view
• When pipelines fail, use glab ci trace <job-id> to see the logs
• Use glab ci lint to validate CI configuration before pushing
• Combine with glab mr pipelines <mr-id> to check MR-specific pipelines
