Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use gitlab for the versioning of all the code created and produced in the company, also to keep track of the modifications made to the code and their approval by those responsible.We also use gitlab in conjunction with other tools for the correct passing of the modified code between the different certification environments, thus allowing an unmodified version to be deployed externally in the certification environments and guaranteeing that the correct code reaches production environments.

Pros and Cons

versioning
Tracking modify code
Correct implementation
Searching especify objects

Better search engine, actual is good but could be better

Return on Investment

Improve the versioning of the code

Alternatives Considered

Bitbucket

More friendly interface and very intuitive.

Continuous Integration

It helps us to identify conflicts between teams that may be touching the same components faster, thus allowing us to carry out rapid coordination and not fall on top of each other's changes.This helps to solve the problems faster and not to be looking for what caused the affectation.

Likelihood to Recommend

GitLab is pretty good at versioning code and keep tracking of the changes that were made to the code.

When you're searching for things it can get tricky some times, I personally prefer to clone the project and use some other tool to find what I'm looking for, this could be better, because when you know the project its easy, but if you don't know the project there is the issue.
