Gitlab

Humalect provides GitLab as one of the source code provider integrations.

What is GitLab?​

GitLab is a web-based Git repository manager that provides source code management (SCM) and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) capabilities.

It allows teams to collaborate on code, track changes, and manage projects in a centralized location, while also providing tools for code review, testing, and deployment.

GitLab Use Cases:​

  1. Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) - GitLab can be used as a central platform for automating software builds, testing, and deployment to various environments.
  2. Source Code Management (SCM) - GitLab can be used as a repository for storing and managing the source code of software projects, enabling multiple developers to collaborate on a project and track changes over time.
  3. Project Management - GitLab includes built-in tools for managing software development projects, such as issue tracking, project boards, and a powerful kanban-style workflow that can help teams prioritize and manage their work.

Here, we keep our permissions to bare minimum, and need only:-

  • Access to the authenticated user's API
    • Grants complete read/write access to the API, including all groups and projects, the container registry, and the package registry.

Step 3: After successful integration, you'll get automatically redirected to Humalect's platform and will see a ✅ Successful checkmark. You can also check the connected repositories from the Dashboard and integration id here.
