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 UMIACS users/groups or publicly. Additionally, it has features allowing a built-in wiki, code review, and issue tracker 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 1G per project. Projects that you create inside of a group namespace still count towards your project limit. UMIACS Staff can help create Lab groups (namespaces) and delegate authority to manage the group to one or more faculty members.
