Overall Satisfaction with GitLab

We use GitLab in our organization to host our code repositories. We maintain repositories at the team level, and these repos can be accessed by anyone in the team. But, apart from the team repos, every individual can also create a GitLab project and create private/internal repository. I personally, maintain a lot of private/internal repositories to push my POC/Reusable Artifacts code.
  • Version control (Pull requests, code diff, commit history, etc.)
  • Documentation support with Wiki pages
  • CI/CD
  • User should be able to create multiple Git repos inside one project as we can do in Azure DevOps
  • Increased productivity
  • Better security
  • Increased reliability
  1. GitLab has all the necessary features that are required as part of modern software development life cycle.
  2. GitLab offers better pricing as compared to its competitors.
  3. GitLab is open-source as well.
