GitLab Documentation

Welcome to GitLab, a Git-based fully featured platform for software development!

GitLab offers the most scalable Git-based fully integrated platform for software development, with flexible products and subscriptions. To understand what features you have access to, check the GitLab subscriptions below.

Complete DevOps with GitLab

GitLab is the first single application for software development, security, and operations that enables Concurrent DevOps, making the software lifecycle three times faster and radically improving the speed of business. GitLab provides solutions for all the stages of the DevOps lifecycle: plan, create, verify, package, release, configure, monitor.

DevOps Lifecycle

Plan

Whether you use Waterfall, Agile, or Conversational Development, GitLab streamlines your collaborative workflows. Visualize, prioritize, coordinate, and track your progress your way with GitLabs flexible project management tools.

Migrate and import your projects from other platforms

Create

Consolidate source code into a single DVCS thats easily managed and controlled without disrupting your workflow. GitLabs git repositories come complete with branching tools and access controls, providing a scalable, single source of truth for collaborating on projects and code.

Projects and groups

Repositories

Manage your repositories from the UI (user interface):

Merge Requests

Integrations

  • Project Services: Integrate a project with external services, such as CI and chat.
  • GitLab Integration: Integrate with multiple third-party services with GitLab to allow external issue trackers and external authentication.
  • Trello Power-Up: Integrate with GitLab's Trello Power-Up

Automation

  • API: Automate GitLab via a simple and powerful API.
  • GitLab Webhooks: Let GitLab notify you when new code has been pushed to your project.

Verify

Spot errors sooner, improve security and shorten feedback cycles with built-in static code analysis, code testing, code quality, dependency checking and review apps. Customize your approval workflow controls, automatically test the quality of your code, and spin up a staging environment for every code change. GitLab Continuous Integration is the most popular next generation testing system that scales to run your tests faster.

  • GitLab CI/CD: Explore the features and capabilities of Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery, and Continuous Deployment with GitLab.
  • Review Apps: Preview changes to your app right from a merge request.
  • Pipeline Graphs

Package

GitLab Container Registry gives you the enhanced security and access controls of custom Docker images without 3rd party add-ons. Easily upload and download images from GitLab CI/CD with full Git repository management integration.

Release

Spend less time configuring your tools, and more time creating. Whether youre deploying to one server or thousands, build, test, and release your code confidently and securely with GitLabs built-in Continuous Delivery and Deployment.

Configure

Automate your entire workflow from build to deploy and monitoring with GitLab Auto Devops. Best practice templates get you started with minimal to zero configuration. Then customize everything from buildpacks to CI/CD.

Monitor

Measure how long it takes to go from planning to monitoring and ensure your applications are always responsive and available. GitLab collects and displays performance metrics for deployed apps using Prometheus so you can know in an instant how code changes impact your production environment.

  • GitLab Prometheus: Configure the bundled Prometheus to collect various metrics from your GitLab instance.
  • Prometheus project integration: Configure the Prometheus integration per project and monitor your CI/CD environments.
  • Prometheus metrics: Let Prometheus collect metrics from various services, like Kubernetes, NGINX, NGINX ingress controller, HAProxy, and Amazon Cloud Watch.
  • GitLab Performance Monitoring: Use InfluxDB and Grafana to monitor the performance of your GitLab instance (will be eventually replaced by Prometheus).
  • Health check: GitLab provides liveness and readiness probes to indicate service health and reachability to required services.
  • GitLab Cycle Analytics: Cycle Analytics measures the time it takes to go from an idea to production for each project you have.

Getting started with GitLab

User account

  • User account: Manage your account
    • Authentication: Account security with two-factor authentication, setup your ssh keys and deploy keys for secure access to your projects.
    • Profile settings: Manage your profile settings, two factor authentication and more.
  • User permissions: Learn what each role in a project (external/guest/reporter/developer/maintainer/owner) can do.

Git and GitLab

  • Git: Getting started with Git, branching strategies, Git LFS, advanced use.
  • Git cheatsheet: Download a PDF describing the most used Git operations.
  • GitLab Flow: explore the best of Git with the GitLab Flow strategy.
