Integration GitLab by API

The purpose of the GitLab service, as you might guess from its name, is to work with git repositories. This is a good solution for programmers who, for whatever reason, are not satisfied with such a popular solution as GitHub. Moreover, according to some data, recently there has been an outflow of users of the latter towards GitLab, which is becoming more and more in demand and popular. The GitLab service provides developers with everything they need to manage individual users and entire groups, as well as access rights to repositories. There are all the necessary tools for debugging code and finding errors. Users will also appreciate the availability of API access, the possibility of discussing the project, maintaining a wiki system, tracking changes, etc. The undoubted advantage of GitLab is that the service can be used both on official servers and deployed at your own facilities. For smaller projects, the free version of GitLab will suffice. But it should be remembered that in this case there are a number of restrictions that are not available in paid versions. It should be noted here that the cost of using the service is democratic and not only large companies, but also small development teams can afford it. The history of the project began in 2011. It was originally written in Ruby, but other languages have since been adopted. Today, GitLab Inc., which owns the project, already employs more than 1,000 people, which is quite remarkable considering that just a few years ago their number was only a few dozen. Over the past years, it was possible to attract considerable investments, which contributed to the rapid development of the project. The service is actively used by many small and large companies, including such giants as IBM and Sony. According to the creators, the total number of business users already exceeds 100,000 organizations.
