How to read all the files with a different extension (say .txt, .yml, etc) from the GitLab repository?

I'm using GitLabApi and below is the code that I have done so far. This is basically fetching a single file.

public class GitLabRepoService { @Value("${gitlab.accessToken}") private String strAccessToken; @Value("${gitlab.perfScript.projectId}") private String strProjectId; public RepositoryFile readFilesFromGitLabRepo(String hostUrl,String fileName,String strBranch) throws Exception { GitLabApi gitLabApi = new GitLabApi(hostUrl, strAccessToken); gitLabApi.setIgnoreCertificateErrors(true); gitLabApi.getRepositoryFileApi(). return gitLabApi.getRepositoryFileApi().getFile(strProjectId, fileName, strBranch); } }

  • I need to get a complete file list of ALL files in the repository, not just the ones in the root directory. Commented Feb 26, 2020 at 8:38

What you want to request is the repositories tree if I understand correctly. For that you should use this endpoint https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/repositories.html

I could not properly test it but according to the docs it looks like RepositoryApi.getTree() is what you are looking for getTree()
