GitLab Documentation

Welcome to GitLab, a Git-based fully featured platform for software development!

We offer four different products for you and your company:

  • GitLab Community Edition (CE) is an opensource product, self-hosted, free to use. Every feature available in GitLab CE is also available on GitLab Enterprise Edition (Starter and Premium) and GitLab.com.
  • GitLab Enterprise Edition (EE) is an opencore product, self-hosted, fully featured solution of GitLab, available under distinct subscriptions: GitLab Enterprise Edition Starter (EES) and GitLab Enterprise Edition Premium (EEP).
  • GitLab.com: SaaS GitLab solution, with free and paid subscriptions. GitLab.com is hosted by GitLab, Inc., and administrated by GitLab (users don't have access to admin settings).

GitLab EE contains all features available in GitLab CE, plus premium features available in each version: Enterprise Edition Starter (EES) and Enterprise Edition Premium (EEP). Everything available in EES is also available in EEP.

Note: We are unifying the documentation for CE and EE. To check if certain feature is available in CE or EE, look for a note right below the page title containing the GitLab version which introduced that feature.
