Be open about as many things as possible. By making information public, we can reduce the threshold to contribution and make collaboration easier. Use public issue trackers, projects, and repositories when possible.

We do the smallest viable and valuable thing, and get it out quickly for feedback. 

Diversity, inclusion and belonging are fundamental to the success of GitLab.

Working efficiently on the right things enables us to make fast progress, which makes our work more fulfilling.



We care about what you achieve: the code you shipped, the user you made happy, and the team member you helped.

To achieve results, team members must work together effectively.

GitLab is a single application with features for the whole software development and operations (DevOps) lifecycle. GitLab helps you automate the builds, integration, and verification of your code. With SAST, DAST, code quality analysis, plus pipelines that enable concurrent testing and parallel execution, your teams get quick insights about every commit so they can deliver higher quality code faster.

With GitLab, every team in your organization can collaboratively plan, build, secure, and deploy software to drive business outcomes faster with complete transparency, consistency and traceability across the DevOps lifecycle

GitLab gives you everything from value stream reporting to planning tools, registries, CI/CD, testing, and much more.

You can use GitLab how and where you want to fit with your digital infrastructure.

Choose what’s best for your organization: SaaS or self-managed. They can host and manage GitLab for you, or you can deploy your own GitLab instance on-premises or in the cloud.

You can automate your security and compliance policies and you’ll get visibility and traceability to see who changed what, where and when across all DevOps functions.

GitLab was built for Dev, Sec, Ops and everyone else who cares about your code — including business teams and non-technical stakeholders — to collaborate and keep moving projects forward.

Because GitLab is built on open source software, you get the benefit of all the innovations that thousands of developers all over the world are continuously adding and refining — and you can contribute your own.

Sid saw the first ruby code in 2007 and loved it so much he learned to program and made this his profession. Before that he was engaged in various businesses, from selling programmable infrared receivers to starting a recreational submarine company. He is always looking to publicly document an answer or to make a process more efficient. He was never good at sports but tries to make it up in quantity by hiking, sailing, skiing, snowboarding, speed skating, dancing Zouk, squashing, and running. He loves participating in conversations on Hacker News, and reading Marc Andreessen's tweets (now that Marc stopped this greatly increased his productivity).
