Concrete cog in the system that works inside larger relationships.
GitLab is a DevSecOps platform for Git repositories, code review, planning, CI/CD, packages, and security. It is available as SaaS and self-managed software.
GitLab began in 2011 as open-source Git hosting and evolved into an integrated platform across the software lifecycle.
Projects group repository, issues, and permissions. Merge requests organize change and review, while `.gitlab-ci.yml` defines pipelines on runners. Registry, environments, and security scans connect artifacts with deployment and governance.
Code, work, roles, and settings form a shared boundary.
Versioned jobs build, test, scan, and deploy changes.
Protection rules, approvals, and audit data control the supply chain.
GitLab fits integrated or self-hosted software delivery. Platform breadth reduces integrations but increases operations, upgrade, and governance effort, and runners plus secrets need particular protection.
