Features

GitLab offers git repository management, code reviews, issue tracking, activity feeds and wikis.

With Gitlab you can:

• Create code together
• Review code together
• Deploy code together
• Document code together

You can access the Gitlab within the campus network. From outside the campus you will need a VPN connection . Both the gitlab web-interface and the git server are therefore unsuitable for distribution of software or collaboration with non Radboud University people. External Users will not have VPN-access and therefore cannot use these services from outside the campus network.
