GitLab is a web-based Git-repository manager with wiki and issue-tracking features, using an open-source license, developed by GitLab Inc.

The software was written by Dmitriy Zaporozhets and Valery Sizov from Ukraine. The code is written in Ruby. Later, some parts have been rewritten in Go. As of December 2016, the company has 150 team members[5] and more than 1400 open-source contributors.[6] It is used by organisations such as IBM, Sony, Jülich Research Center, NASA, Alibaba, Invincea, O’Reilly Media, Leibniz-Rechenzentrum (LRZ), CERN[7][8][9], and SpaceX.[10]

History

  • In July 2013,[12] the product was split:
    • GitLab CE: Community Edition
    • GitLab EE: Enterprise Edition
      At that time, the license of GitLab CE and GitLab EE remained free and open-source software distributed under the MIT License.
  • In February 2014, GitLab announced[13] adoption of an open-core business model. GitLab EE is set under a proprietary license, and contains features not present in the CE version.[14]
  • In March 2015, GitLab acquired Gitorious, a competing Git hosting service. Eventually, the users were encouraged to move to GitLab.
  • In July 2016, the GitLab CEO confirmed the open-core feature of the company.[17]
  • In September 2016, GitLab raised $20 million in Series B funding from August Capital and others.[18]
  • In January 2017, a database administrator accidentally deleted the production database, in the aftermath of a cyber attack. Six hours worth of issue and merge request data was lost.[19]
  • On March 15, 2017, GitLab announced the acquisition of Gitter. Included in the announcement was the stated intent that Gitter would continue as a standalone project. Additionally, GitLab announced that the code would become open source under an MIT License no later than June 2017.[20]
  • In October, 2017, GitLab raised $20 million in Series C funding from GV and others.[21]
