Description

GitLab is a web-based DevOps platform that provides a complete end-to-end DevOps toolchain for organizations. It is essentially a version control repository and collaborative platform that enables teams to manage and track their source code, plan and track issues, automate software testing and deployment, and monitor performance.

GitLab offers features such as source code management (Git repository hosting), issue tracking, continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD), container registry, code reviews, and more. It allows teams to collaborate on projects by providing them with a central location to store and manage their code, documentation, and project milestones.

GitLab can be self-hosted on-premises or used as a cloud-based service. It provides both free and paid versions, with additional features and support available in the paid tiers. GitLab has gained popularity among software development teams due to its feature-rich platform, low entry barriers, and open-source roots.
