These utility scripts avoid copying each ci variable manually which is tedious
The gitlab-ci-vars-reader.py reads variables from a specific project or a pipeline (depending on the options provided) and copies them into a yaml file
The gitlab-ci-vars-updater.py takes a yaml file containing key value pairs in yaml format as an input. It then creates/updates project variables or pipeline variables (depending on the options provided)
