TLDR Python Fabric is an open source python library that is used to execute commands remotely over SSH. Fabric is compatible with Python 2 and 3 and can be used to deploy a basic project to a remote server through Gitlab CI using Python Fabric. Fabric uses a library called Paramiko under the hood for handling the SSH side of things, we can pass arguments to Paramiko's SSH client. Paramiko is a Python context manager with the help of Python context managers, but there are many other ways to do this as well.via the TL;DR App
