Platform Description

GitLab is a platform for all aspects of software development in one place. It's not just about storing code, it's about organizing the process of version control so that multiple people can work on it at the same time without conflicts, and reviewing and merging code safely. in particular, its automated build, test, and deployment features help developers reduce repetitive manual work and produce stable results faster. in real-world use, GitLab's well-connected features like project dashboards, issue management, code reviews, and permissions control make it easy to see and manage your team's entire development flow. for example, code changes can be reviewed via merge requests, and security checks can be automatically run when needed to catch potential issues in advance. these features give developers, as well as team leaders and managers, a bird's eye view of collaboration. more recently, AI capabilities have also been enhanced, with tools like GitLab Duo automatically making suggestions or providing analytics reports as you write code. this allows developers to complete code faster and increase security. gitLab is also available as both a cloud-based service and on your own server, so it's flexible enough for small teams and security-conscious enterprises alike.

FAQs

  • GitLab is a unified platform for code storage, collaboration, automated build-testing, deployment, and security for software development.
  • Free provides basic functionality, while Premium provides enhanced team collaboration, management, and support. Ultimate provides advanced features for enterprise environments, including security, compliance, and portfolio management.
  • GitLab combines code storage, collaboration, CI/CD, security, and operations in one platform. other tools often have fragmented functionality.
  • While GitHub is centered around code storage and collaboration, GitLab is called a "DevSecOps" platform because it incorporates CI/CD, security checks, compliance, and project management capabilities on top of that.
  • a user is any person or machine account that accesses your software. this includes employees, external consultants, agents, etc. Within a namespace (top-level group), most users are counted as part of the subscription.
  • A3. You can import projects from most major platforms, including GitHub, Bitbucket, and more.
  • yes. if you qualify, we offer an Ultimate license and 50,000 compute minutes per month for free.
  • Advanced AI features are available by purchasing add-ons like GitLab Duo Pro, Duo Enterprise, and Duo with Amazon Q.
  • Free allows up to 10 GB per project, while Premium and Ultimate allow up to 500 GB per project. purchasing additional storage increases your overall capacity, but the maximum limit (500 GB per project) remains unchanged.
  • This only applies to "private groups" on the GitLab.com Free plan. public groups, paid plans, self-managed, and open source/education/startup programs do not have this restriction.
  • currently, GitLab.com is operated on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) in the United States.
