GitLab

What it does

You can select GitLab as your Git provider of choice in Buddy. Setting your integration up is extremely easy - all you have to do is authorize GitLab in your profile.

How it works

Buddy uses GitLab's OAuth authorization to integrate. This means that GitLab will ask for the user's permission to connect with Buddy.

Once you create a project, Buddy will add a webhook to your repository that will allow you to trigger a pipeline execution on every change to your GitLab repository. The content of the repo will be mirrored in read-only mode in the Code tab, where you can also browse your files and view commit history without leaving Buddy.

Buddy uses only read-only access to GitLab repositories.
