Purpose:
GitLab offers a location for online code storage as well as tools for CI/CD and bug tracking. The repository allows users to inspect previous code and roll back to it in the event of unforeseen issues. It also enables hosting alternative development chains and versions. Additionally, it offers complete DevOps capabilities for the entire software development lifecycle. Development teams can automate writing and testing their code using GitLab’s continuous integration (CI) features. GitLab is free for people and supports both public and private development branches.
