Need a group namespace list command

[alerque]

I realize this tool is primarily targeting interactive use, but I find it useful to have tools that are both useful to run by hand and to script.

One of the things I still use lab for in scripting management of GitLab projects is to list the projects in a group namespace.

Glab currently has a search and I can cobble the results out of glab repo search -s 'group_name /', but even coming up with that search syntax is not intuitive and the output is horribly clunky to parse.

I suggest a simple glab repo list group_name that just expected the group name and returns sensible results.

For reference, here is how the GitHub CLI does this:

$ gh repo list preservim | head -4
preservim/nerdcommenter Vim plugin for intensely nerdy commenting powers        public  2022-02-15T13:29:48Z
preservim/vim-litecorrect       Lightweight auto-correction for Vim     public  2022-02-13T13:23:46Z
preservim/vim-wordchipper       Power tool for shredding text in Insert mode    public  2022-02-13T12:38:03Z
preservim/vim-wordy     Uncover usage problems in your writing  public  2022-02-13T12:37:47Z

Note how easy that output would be to pars with say | IFS='\t' while read repo desc visibility date; do ...; done.

For Gitlab, the lab tool has a very easy to pars output, although the ability to restrict the list to a group is missing so you kind of have to parse that for yourself, e.g.:

$ lab project list -a | grep '^ahit/' | head -4
ahit/lectio_continua
ahit/veritas
ahit/ahityayinlari.com
ahit/athanasius

Hey @alerque. This does make sense. I will try to look into it what can be done about this.
