Overview
GitLab provides a platform for managing source code and software-delivery workflows. It combines Git repository hosting with review, issue tracking, and CI/CD capabilities so a team can coordinate changes and automated checks in one system.
Products and role
Merge requests organize proposed code changes and review. CI/CD pipelines describe jobs that can test, build, or deploy a project when configured events occur.
A useful distinction
A repository, a pipeline, and a deployment represent different stages of delivery. Pipeline success establishes only the checks actually configured; application behavior still requires appropriate verification.
