Learn how to install, configure, update, and maintain your GitLab instance.

Administrator documentation [CORE ONLY]

Learn how to administer your GitLab instance (Community Edition and Enterprise Edition). Regular users don't have access to GitLab administration tools and settings.

GitLab has two product distributions: the open source GitLab Community Edition (CE), and the open core GitLab Enterprise Edition (EE), available through different subscriptions.

You can install GitLab CE or GitLab EE, but the features you'll have access to depend on the subscription you choose (Core, Starter, Premium, or Ultimate). GitLab Community Edition installations only have access to Core features.

GitLab.com is administered by GitLab, Inc., therefore, only GitLab team members have access to its admin configurations. If you're a GitLab.com user, please check the user documentation.
