GitLab

Version control platform

GitLab is a web-based platform for software development, providing tools for version control, code review, and project management.

Like its competitor GitHub, GitLab hosts Git repositories and enables collaborative coding.

It's popular with development teams who want to manage their entire workflow—from planning through deployment—in one place: We moved our codebase to GitLab last year.
