GitLab is open source code collaboration software based around the Git source control framework. It allows users to create their own repositories and share them with other users/groups or publicly. It supports built-in project wikis, code review, and issue tracking for each project. A full list of features can be found on the GitLab website.
All code is hosted on-site on UMIACS servers and is backed up nightly. We allow users to have 5 projects with a soft limit of 500Mb per project. Projects that you create inside of a group namespace still count towards your project limit. UMIACS Staff can help create Lab groups (called namespaces) and delegate authority to manage the group to one or more faculty members.
To get started, navigate to the following URL in your browser and enter your UMIACS Krb5 credentials in the LDAP tab:
https://gitlab.umiacs.umd.edu
GitLab Offsite Collaborators
Any UMIACS user can now create an unlimited number of offsite collaborator accounts in our GitLab. These accounts can not create repositories or groups, but may be given access to your repositories or groups. You can find this utility in our Requests application under the GitLab Offsite Collaborators.
These users will need to confirm and perform a password reset within GitLab before starting to use the account. They will be emailed directions on how to do this. They also will need to use the "Standard" tab when logging into the GitLab web interface.
User Documentation
GitLab provides user documentation that can be accessed at https://gitlab.umiacs.umd.edu/help. Note: you will need to log in to view this page.
Some of the most useful sections include:
- Permissions and user roles - https://gitlab.umiacs.umd.edu/help/permissions
- GitLab markdown for wikis and READMEs - https://gitlab.umiacs.umd.edu/help/markdown
