What is GitLab?
GitLab is an open-source DevOps platform that combines source code management, CI/CD pipelines, issue tracking, and container registry. Unlike GitHub or Bitbucket, GitLab lets you plan, build, test, and deploy software without juggling multiple tools.
GitLab hosting on your own server means you control your code, pipelines, and data completely. With GitLab CE (Community Edition), you get all the essential features like unlimited private repositories, CI/CD automation, merge requests, wikis, and issue boards.
What Can You Do with Self-Hosted GitLab?
Automate builds and tests, deploy to production, and manage release workflows with integrated pipelines.
Review code with merge requests, track issues, manage sprints, and document projects with built-in wikis.
Store Docker images in the integrated registry, scan for vulnerabilities, and deploy containers directly.
Control who accesses your code, audit all changes, and enforce approval rules.
