What is GitLab?

GitLab is an open-source platform built around Git, the distributed version control system developed by Linus Torvalds. It provides a comprehensive set of tools and features to manage Git repositories, project planning, continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD), code review, issue tracking, and more. Essentially, GitLab consolidates the entire software development lifecycle into one seamless interface, simplifying the process and making it more efficient.

Key features:

Git Repository Management: At its core, GitLab is a powerful Git repository manager. It allows developers to create, clone, push, and pull repositories, providing version control capabilities that ensure changes to code are tracked, managed, and merged efficiently.
Collaborative Development: Team members can collaborate by pushing code changes, creating issues, and reviewing each other’s code. The merge request (MR) feature allows developers to propose code changes and receive feedback before merging them.
Enhanced Collaboration: GitLab centralises development activities, facilitating seamless collaboration among team members regardless of their geographical location.
Code Review and Collaboration: GitLab streamlines code review by enabling developers to comment on code changes directly within the platform. This fosters collaboration, knowledge sharing, and ensures the quality of code before merging.
Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD): One of GitLab’s standout features is its integrated CI/CD pipelines. Developers can automate the testing, building, and deployment processes, ensuring code changes are thoroughly tested before being merged into the main codebase and deployed to production.
