Faster code reviews
-
Multiple approvers in code review
To ensure strict code review, you can require a minimum number of users to approve of a merge request before it is able to be merged.
-
Code Owners
Assign Code Owners to files to indicate the team members responsible for code in your project. Code owners are assigned automatically as merge request approvers.
-
Code Review Analytics
Find bottlenecks in your code review process by understanding how long open merge requests have been in review.
-
Merge request reviews
For faster code review, draft multiple comments in a merge request code review, before submitting them together all at once.
-
Pipelines for Merged Results
Keep master green. A special pipeline runs on the results of merged code before merging into master to detect changes that may be green on a branch but will fail master when merged.
-
Code Quality Reports
Full Code Quality reports are available on the pipeline page, showing areas of the codebase that do not meet the organization’s preferred style or standards.
-
Comments in Review Apps
Shorten the feedback cycle and enable stakeholders to provide comments through a form in your review app - which is then automatically added to the related merge request .
Advanced CI/CD
-
CI/CD Pipelines Dashboard
Visualize the history and current status of pipelines across projects and groups all in a single dashboard that can be customized for each user.
-
Multi-project pipeline graphs

Connect your projects hosted on external services (like GitHub or Bitbucket) and leverage the power of GitLab CI/CD pipelines to build, test, and deploy your applications easily.
-
GitLab Agent for Kubernetes
Manage the deployments and connection to your Kubernetes clusters in a secure and compliant way, driven by code.
-
Environments Dashboard
Visualize cross-project environments, track change flow from development to production, track pipeline status and diagnose issues from a single dashboard.
-
Group file templates
Define custom
LICENSE,.gitignore,Dockerfileand.gitlab-ci.ymltemplates for a Group to make consistency easier. -
Robust deploy and rollback bundle
Encapsulate knowledge of deploying and rolling back into something more than a script, perhaps similar to a k8s operator. Something that knows how to handle failure. e.g. if you’re deploying 7 services and one fails, you can’t just stop, you probably have to rollback the 6 that succeeded, as well as the 7th that failed. (Now, depending on implementation, it still might be a script that triggers some kind of operator). GitLab can deploy and rollback, but only via scripts with limited error handling.

Frequently asked questions
License and Subscription
I already have an account, how do I upgrade?
Head over to https://customers.gitlab.com, choose the plan that is right for you.
Can I add more users to my subscription?
Yes. You have a few options. You can add users to your subscription any time during the subscription period. You can log in to your account via the GitLab Customers Portal and add more seats or contact sales for a quote. In either case, the cost will be prorated from the date of quote/purchase through the end of the subscription period. You may also pay for the additional licenses per our true-up model.
How will I be charged for add-on users?
If you have quarterly subscription reconciliation enabled (default option for new and renewing subscriptions after Aug 1, 2021), users added during a quarter will only be charged for the remaining quarters of their subscription term as opposed to the full annual subscription fee(s) with annual true-ups. For example, if you add 50 users to your subscription during the third quarter of your subscription term, the 50 users will only be charged for the fourth quarter of your subscription term as opposed to all four quarters as per annual true-ups.
If you do not have quarterly subscription reconciliation enabled, add-on users will be charged annual true-ups for the full term during which they were added. For example, if you have 100 active users today, you should purchase a 100 user subscription. Suppose that when you renew next year you have 300 active users (200 extra users). When you renew you pay for a 300 user subscription and you also pay the full annual fee for the 200 users that you added during the year.
What happens when my subscription is about to expire or has expired?
You will receive a new license that you will need to upload to your GitLab instance. This can be done by following these instructions.
What happens if I decide not to renew my subscription?
How does the license key work?
The license key is a static file which, upon uploading, allows GitLab Enterprise Edition to run. During license upload we check that the active users on your GitLab Enterprise Edition instance doesn’t exceed the new number of users. During the licensed period you may add as many users as you want. The license key will expire after one year for GitLab subscribers.

GitLab SaaS
What features are not available on GitLab SaaS?
Some features are unique to self-managed and do not apply to SaaS. You can find an up to date list on the features page.
Storage and Transfer Limits
Do the storage and transfer limits apply to self-managed?
What happens if I exceed my storage and transfer limits?
The limits are currently soft limits only, GitLab will not enforce these limits automatically as the product does not show the usage of all Storage and Transfer yet. If you exceed the limits, GitLab may reach out and work with you to reduce your usage or purchase additional add-ons. In the future, the limits will be automatically enforced. This will be announced separately.
Where can I see my storage and transfer usage?
What counts towards my storage limit?
Can additional storage and transfer be purchased?
Additional storage and transfer can be purchased as an add-on. Please follow the process described in our documentation.
CI/CD Pipeline Minutes
What are CI/CD pipeline minutes?
What happens if I reach my minutes limit?
If you reach your limits, you can manage your CI/CD minutes usage, purchase additional CI minutes, or upgrade your account to Premium or Ultimate. Your own runners can still be used even if you reach your limits.
Does the minute limit apply to all runners?
No. We will only restrict your minutes for our shared runners (SaaS only). If you have a specific runner setup for your projects, there is no limit to your build time on GitLab SaaS.
Do plans increase the minutes limit depending on the number of users in that group?
Why do I need to enter credit/debit card details for free pipeline minutes?
There has been a massive uptick in abuse of free pipeline minutes available on GitLab.com to mine cryptocurrencies - which creates intermittent performance issues for GitLab.com users. To discourage such abuse, credit/debit card details are required if you choose to use GitLab.com shared runners. Credit/debit card details are not required if you bring your own runner or disable shared runners. When you provide the card, it will be verified with a one-dollar authorization transaction. No charge will be made and no money will transfer. Learn more here
Is there a different CI/CD minutes limit for public projects?
Yes. Public projects created after 2021-07-17 will have an allocation of CI/CD pipeline minutes as follows: Free tier - 50,000 minutes, Premium tier - 1,250,000 minutes, Ultimate tier - 6,250,000.
