GitLab provides a [[software repository]] service similar to that provided by [[Github]]. Unlike Github it allows developers to store the code on their own servers rather than servers operated by Github. It is free and distributed under the MIT open license.<ref>http://thenextweb.com/apps/2011/10/13/ship-it-faster-and-cheaper-gitlab-is-github-for-your-own-servers/</ref>

The software was written by Dmitriy Zaporozhets from [[Ukraine]] and the CEO, Sytse Sijbrandij is based in [[Utrecht]]. The code is written in [[rubyRuby (programming language)|Ruby]]. The company has six salaried employees and more than 600 [[open source]] contributors. It is used by more than 100,000 organisations including [[NASA]], [[Alibaba]], [[Invincea]] and [[O’Reilly Media]].<ref>http://thenextweb.com/insider/2014/06/04/github-rival-gitlab-building-business-just-0-1-paying-customers/</ref><ref>http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/sns-wp-washpost-bc-tech-talent08-20141008-story.html</ref>
