Overall Satisfaction with GitLab
GitLab is a great version control system that enables us to create repositories, push/pull the code from the said repositories, merge code into branches, etc. It is also a DevOps platform using which you can develop, secure, and operate your software. It also comes with CICD pipelines using which we can create builds of the current code (from any branch) by passing parameters directly from the Gitlab UI. The best part is that it is open-source and has a huge userbase so security and support are pretty good.
- Version Control
- CICD Pipelines
- Works with Git client
- DevOps support
- It is good enough for my usage and I don't have any problems with things. The UI is good enough and it is fast too!
- I am not involved in that
GitLab is pretty secure as it works on your private network, has limitations on how many requests can be sent per minute, has options to restrict access (authorization), and has an authentication (user has to log in before accessing any repos), etc. These are some of the things that make it secure.
GitLab allows your team to work on the same module and then push their code in their respective branches and get it merged by someone who has the access. We have been using this as our team works on a project which is shared by other teams as well. Everyone works on their own modules (sometimes the same modules too) and push their code to their own branches and then raises a merge request. The senior developers then review the code and merge it which makes continuous integration seamless.
