External issue tracker (FREE)

GitLab has an issue tracker, but you can configure an external issue tracker per GitLab project.

After you configure the external tracker, you can reference external issues in GitLab merge requests, commits, and comments using the format CODE-123, where:

  • CODE is a unique code for the tracker.
  • 123 is the issue number in the tracker.
