GitLab Knowledge Graph commands. (EXPERIMENTAL)

## Synopsis

Access the GitLab Knowledge Graph (product name: Orbit) from the
CLI. Use `glab orbit remote` to query the remote API, or
`glab orbit local` to run the Orbit local CLI binary.

This feature is an experiment and is not ready for production use.
It might be unstable or removed at any time.
For more information, see
<https://docs.gitlab.com/policy/development_stages_support/>.

## Examples

```console
# Guided onboarding: verify access, install the skill, install the local CLI
$ glab orbit setup

# Discover the remote Knowledge Graph
$ glab orbit remote status
$ glab orbit remote schema
$ glab orbit remote tools

# Run a query against the remote Knowledge Graph
$ glab orbit remote query ./query.json

# Inspect indexing progress for a namespace or project
$ glab orbit remote graph-status --full-path gitlab-org/gitlab

# Run the Orbit local CLI (downloads the binary on first use)
$ glab orbit local

```
