如何在glab CLI中切换主机？是否支持--host参数指定配置内主机？

Absolutely! You can use the --host parameter to target a pre-configured GitLab instance from your config.yml file. This is exactly the right approach for switching hosts on a per-command basis without altering your default configuration.

How it works with your setup #

Looking at your config.yml, you have two configured host aliases: hostA (your default) and gitlab. When you run a command like:

glab repo clone --host gitlab -g <group_id> -p --paginate

The --host gitlab flag tells glab to use the credentials and settings defined under the gitlab entry in your config, overriding the default host: hostA setting for just that single command.

Additional tips #

• To confirm all your configured host aliases, run:

  glab config list
  

  This will show you all hosts set up in your config, so you can double-check the exact alias names to use with --host.
• If you want to switch your default host permanently (instead of per-command), use:

  glab config set host gitlab
  

  This will update the host field in your config.yml to gitlab, making it the default for all future commands until you change it again.

Just make sure you're using the alias name (like gitlab or hostA) with the --host parameter, not the full api_host domain (e.g., gitlab_example.com). The CLI maps the alias directly to the corresponding entry in your config file.
