Gitlab is a web-based DevOps platform that provides a complete CI/CD pipeline to help you plan, build, secure, and deploy software. It's like GitHub, but with more of a focus on the entire software development lifecycle, from idea to production.
"I need to set up a new repo for our latest project - should I use GitHub or Gitlab? I heard Gitlab has better built-in CI/CD pipelines."
"We've been using Gitlab for a while now and I gotta say, the ability to do everything from planning to deployment in one place is pretty slick. Beats bouncing between JIRA, Jenkins, and whatever else we were using before."
