# Organize work with projects **(FREE)**
|
|
|
|
In GitLab, you can create projects to host
|
|
your codebase. You can also use projects to track issues, plan work,
|
|
collaborate on code, and continuously build, test, and use
|
|
built-in CI/CD to deploy your app.
|
|
|
|
Projects can be available [publicly, internally, or privately](../../public_access/public_access.md).
|
|
GitLab does not limit the number of private projects you can create.
|
|
|
|

## GitLab Workflow - VS Code extension
|
|
|
|
To avoid switching from the GitLab UI and VS Code while working in GitLab repositories, you can integrate
|
|
the [VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) editor with GitLab through the
|
|
[GitLab Workflow extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=GitLab.gitlab-workflow).
|
|
|
|
To review or contribute to the extension's code, visit [its codebase in GitLab](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-vscode-extension/).
