Overall Satisfaction with Gitlab

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Gitlab to easily manage all of our projects. With these tools, we have access to private repositories which is a big benefit for us. We also use this software because it is very intuitive and easy to use. This tool also helps us to review our code without effort and give us extra time to spend writing more code instead of debugging.

If you are a small company and would like some help managing or reviewing your code, this tool is definitely for you. GitLab is a single application for the entire software development lifecycle and you can publish unlimited repositories. In addition, all their internal documentation is published so that everyone can research and submit changes.
