Gitlab

GitLab is an open-source DevOps platform that provides a complete lifecycle for managing code, CI/CD pipelines, security scanning, and project collaboration in a single application. It enables teams to plan, develop, test, secure, and deploy software efficiently while maintaining full control over their repositories and infrastructure.
