Introduction
GitLab is a web-based DevOps lifecycle tool that provides a Git repository manager providing wiki, issue-tracking, and CI/CD pipeline features, using an open-source license.
Key features
Version Control: GitLab uses Git for version control, allowing teams to track changes to their code, collaborate on development, and manage multiple versions of their projects.
Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD): GitLab includes built-in CI/CD pipelines to automate testing, building, and deploying code. This helps streamline the development process and ensures that code changes are automatically tested and deployed.
Issue Tracking: GitLab provides tools for issue tracking and project management, allowing teams to plan, track, and manage their work. Issues can be linked to code changes, making it easier to track progress and manage development tasks.
Code Review: GitLab facilitates code reviews with merge requests, where team members can review, comment on, and approve code changes before they are merged into the main branch.
Collaboration: GitLab supports team collaboration with features like wikis, milestones, and boards. These tools help teams organize their work, document processes, and collaborate more effectively.
Security: GitLab offers various security features, including static and dynamic application security testing, dependency scanning, and container scanning, to help identify and mitigate vulnerabilities in the codebase.
Integration: GitLab integrates with various third-party tools and services, including cloud providers, project management tools, and monitoring solutions, to enhance its functionality and fit into different workflows.
Self-Hosted and SaaS: GitLab is available as both a self-hosted solution that organizations can run on their own infrastructure and as a SaaS (Software as a Service) offering hosted by GitLab Inc.
