Overall Satisfaction with GitLab

GitLab is awesome for business projects it has a clear user interface when you are in an organization.We have some of our repositories hosted on GitLab because we love GitLab CI/CD. With this tool you can integrate your software in a smooth way, you can deploy it also.I love one special feature on GitLab CI/CD: I am able to define a base Job and then extend it with something called "Job Inheritance". This feature is powerful because we can take all the common steps on a job and then add other specific steps to achieve our goals. Our pipelines are like highways where our code get deployed.
I also like wikis feature to share relevant information with my teammates.
Other feature I enjoyed a lot is the commit graph log. We can view our commit history in a visual way. This help us to know if we have a linear or a parallel commit history.
My teammates also enjoyed the environments and review apps features. I worked great with Firebase Hosting. So we were able to test our integration in an isolated environment without deploying to production.
I think GitLab has a great CI/CD tooling.
