Installation
Please see the installation page on the GitLab website for the various options.
Since a manual installation is a lot of work and error prone we strongly recommend the fast and reliable Omnibus package installation (deb/rpm).
You can access new installation with the login root and password 5iveL!fe, after login you are required to set a unique password.
Third-party applications
There are a lot of applications and API wrappers for GitLab. Find them on our website.
New versions
Since 2011 a minor or major version of GitLab is released on the 22nd of every month. Patch and security releases come out when needed. New features are detailed on the blog and in the changelog. For more information about the release process see the release documentation. Features that will likely be in the next releases can be found on the feature request forum with the status started and completed.
Upgrading
For updating the the Omnibus installation please see the update documentation. For manual installations there is an upgrader script and there are upgrade guides.
Install a development environment
We recommend setting up your development environment with the GitLab Development Kit. If you do not use the GitLab Development Development kit you need to install and setup all the dependencies yourself, this is a lot of work and error prone. One small thing you also have to do when installing it yourself is to copy the example development unicorn configuration file:
cp config/unicorn.rb.example.development config/unicorn.rb
Instructions on how to start Gitlab and how to run the tests can be found in the development section of the GitLab Development Kit.
Documentation
All documentation can be found on doc.gitlab.com/ee/.
