Complete DevOps platform for Git repository management and CI/CD
Open-core DevOps platform combining Git repository management, code review, issue tracking, and complete CI/CD pipelines in a single application.
GitLab is a comprehensive DevOps platform built on Ruby on Rails that unifies source code management, continuous integration, and deployment automation. Trusted by over 100,000 organizations, it provides fine-grained access controls for Git repositories, merge request workflows for code review, and integrated issue tracking with boards and wikis for every project.
Available in three editions—Community Edition (MIT licensed), Enterprise Edition (with advanced features for larger teams), and JiHu Edition (for the Chinese market)—GitLab supports both self-hosted and cloud deployments. The platform runs on PostgreSQL, Redis, and modern Ruby infrastructure, with Omnibus packages simplifying installation across Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, RHEL, and OpenSUSE.
While the Community Edition serves individual developers and small teams, Enterprise Edition targets organizations exceeding 100 users with enhanced collaboration and governance features. The platform's architecture supports complete CI/CD pipelines that build, test, and deploy applications, making it the most popular self-hosted Git management solution for teams requiring on-premises control.
When teams consider GitLab, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.

End-to-End CI/CD Automation
Build complete pipelines that test, scan, and deploy applications directly from merge requests without external tools
Collaborative Code Review Workflows
Streamline peer review with merge requests, inline comments, and approval rules before merging to protected branches
Project Management Integration
Track issues, plan sprints with boards, and maintain documentation in wikis alongside code in a unified workspace
Community Edition (CE) is MIT-licensed and freely available. Enterprise Edition (EE) adds features for organizations over 100 users and requires a paid subscription with official support.
GitLab supports both self-hosted deployment via Omnibus packages and cloud hosting at GitLab.com. Self-hosting requires PostgreSQL 16.5+, Redis 6.0+, and Ruby 3.2.5.
GitLab runs on Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, RHEL, or OpenSUSE with PostgreSQL 16.5+, Redis 6.0+, Git 2.33+, and Ruby 3.2.5. Omnibus packages simplify installation and dependency management.
Community Edition serves teams of any size. Enterprise Edition targets organizations exceeding 100 users with advanced collaboration, security, and governance capabilities.
Development occurs on GitLab.com. Use the GitLab Development Kit (GDK) to set up your environment. Most code is MIT-licensed; proprietary EE features in /ee are source-available and accept contributions.
