Push options such as git push -o ci.skip

[jonpas]

Hello! I could not find an answer to this in the documentation or this repository. Of course I may be blind, but I will be thankful for an answer.

Is there an in-built way to push with an option. I sometimes push with git push -o ci.skip to a GitLab instance, especially if I am doing some changes I know will fail the CI.

If not in-built, what would be the best way to implement this? Maybe a new global keybind? An option?

For your specific use case a custom command would probably be the easiest solution.

You can make this a keyless global custom command, so it appears in ? without taking over the normal push key:

customCommands:
  - description: 'Push with ci.skip'
    context: 'global'
    command: 'git push --push-option=ci.skip'
    output: 'popup'
    outputTitle: 'Push with ci.skip'

Append the entry to your existing customCommands list, reopen Lazygit, press ?, type ci.skip, then Enter. It uses the same destination and ref selection as your normal git push; the result appears in a popup. The custom-command docs also show how to add a key if you prefer one.

This complete local example includes a disposable receiver that records the actual push option and updated branch. On Lazygit 0.66.2, two custom pushes delivered ci.skip; a subsequent normal push delivered no options. These were scripted terminal checks, without a live GitLab pipeline. GitLab's ci.skip option applies to branch pipelines, not merge request pipelines or external CI integrations.

This is probably the most usable way to do this for me, thank you!
