GitLab Solutions for Open Source Projects
Create. Configure. Monitor. Secure. Open source communities benefit from The DevSecOps Platform.
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
Connect with open source enthusiasts on the GitLab Forum to find support and collaborate. And meet members of the GitLab Open Source Partners program to learn how large-scale open source projects innovate with GitLab.
Built for collaboration
Your entire community can use GitLab — not only developers. Onboard new members with ease. Foster cross-team collaboration. Maintain your documentation. Plan new features and track upcoming milestones. Automate testing. GitLab's end-to-end platform helps everyone contribute.
