What is GitLab?

GitLab is a web-based DevSecOps platform that unifies source code management, CI/CD pipelines, issue tracking, and security scanning in a single application. Teams use it to host Git repositories, review code through merge requests, automate builds and deployments, and track vulnerabilities across the software lifecycle. It is available as a SaaS product on GitLab.com or as self-managed software for on-premises and hybrid deployments.

GitLab targets everyone from individual developers to large enterprises, with tiered plans that add advanced CI/CD minutes, portfolio management, compliance controls, and application security testing such as SAST and dependency scanning. Recent releases bundle GitLab Duo, an AI assistant for code suggestions and chat, into paid tiers.
