GitLab Solutions for Open Source Projects

Create. Configure. Monitor. Secure. Open source communities benefit from The DevSecOps Platform.

The DevSecOps lifecycle of plan, code, build, test, release, deploy, operate, and monitor arranged in an infinity symbol overlapping the security shield (secure and compliance).

Agile planning and delivery. Simplified.

We're open

GitLab's open core is published under an MIT open source license. The rest is source-available. Everyone can contribute to making GitLab better. View our transparent roadmap and propose features your project needs.

You're in control

Download, install, and manage your own GitLab instance. Or let us — or a partner — do it for you. Deploy to the cloud you prefer. With GitLab, you have options.

Community powered
