== Features ==
== Features ==
With GitLab you can easily manage your projects, synchronize your code between computers, or create wiki-pages for documentation.
Mattermost is a chat system you can use in any web browser, or with apps on your computer or mobile phone.
It is an additional service of GitLab, and integrates nicely with your groups and projects there.
If you are not online when someone mentions your name, you will get notified by E-Mail.
Like the GitLab service, Mattermost is hosted here on-premises at the Radboud University.


There is no pre-defined limit how many past messages you can read (e.g. unlike Slack.com's free plan, with which you can only read your 10k most recent ones).


== Requirements ==
== Requirements ==
1. A GitLab account to log in at https://gitlab.socsci.ru.nl:
You need a GitLab account to log in at https://mattermost.socsci.ru.nl, see [[Gitlab Social Sciences]] for more information.
* Everyone from Radboud University can login (with their U-, S-, E- or F-number).
* External users can ask for an account and then login with their username (switch to the "Standard" tab in the Sign-In page).
2. For more than the most basic tasks, you'll also need to install [https://git-scm.com/downloads Git] on your computer.
 
== Login for external users ==
If you want to allow people without Radboud University account to access and contribute to your GitLab project, you can request a standard user account by sending an email to
[mailto:gitlab@socsci.ru.nl gitlab@socsci.ru.nl].
Please provide the full name of the user, a requested username, and a valid email address, preferably from the university the person is working in.
 
Note that with an external account, the user has to switch to the "Standard" tab on the Sign-In page.
From GitLab's point of view, all accounts have the same rights and restrictions.
Once logged in, there are no further differences.
