#  GitLab
## Open source software to collaborate on code
- Manage Git repositories with fine grained access controls that keep your code secure
- Perform code reviews and enhance collaboration with merge requests
- Each project can also have an issue tracker and a wiki
- Used by more than 100,000 organizations, GitLab is the most popular solution to manage Git repositories on-premises
- Completely free and open source (MIT Expat license)
- Powered by Ruby on Rails
## Editions
There are two editions of GitLab.
GitLab [Community Edition](https://about.gitlab.com/features/) (CE) is available without any costs under an MIT license.
GitLab Enterprise Edition (EE) includes [extra features](https://about.gitlab.com/features/#compare) that are most useful for organizations with more than 100 users.
To get access to the EE and support please [become a subscriber](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/).
## Canonical source
- The source of GitLab Community Edition is [hosted on GitLab.com](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/) and there are mirrors to make [contributing](CONTRIBUTING.md) as easy as possible.

## Requirements
- Ubuntu/Debian/CentOS/RHEL**
- ruby 2.0+
- git 1.7.10+
- redis 2.0+
- MySQL or PostgreSQL
** More details are in the [requirements doc](doc/install/requirements.md).
## Installation
Please see [the installation page on the GitLab website](https://about.gitlab.com/installation/) for the various options.
Since a manual installation is a lot of work and error prone we strongly recommend the fast and reliable [Omnibus package installation](https://about.gitlab.com/downloads/) (deb/rpm).
You can access new installation with the login `root` and password `5iveL!fe`, after login you are required to set a unique password.
## Third-party applications
There are a lot of applications and API wrappers for GitLab.
Find them [on our website](https://about.gitlab.com/applications/).
## New versions
Since 2011 a minor or major version of GitLab is released on the 22nd of every month. Patch and security releases come out when needed. New features are detailed on the [blog](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/) and in the [changelog](CHANGELOG). For more information about the release process see the release [documentation](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/tree/master/doc/release). Features that will likely be in the next releases can be found on the [feature request forum](http://feedback.gitlab.com/forums/176466-general) with the status [started](http://feedback.gitlab.com/forums/176466-general/status/796456) and [completed](http://feedback.gitlab.com/forums/176466-general/status/796457).
## Upgrading
For updating the the Omnibus installation please see the [update documentation](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/master/doc/update.md). For manual installations there is an [upgrader script](doc/update/upgrader.md) and there are [upgrade guides](doc/update).
## Install a development environment
We recommend setting up your development environment with [the GitLab Development Kit](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-development-kit).
If you do not use the GitLab Development Development kit you need to install and setup all the dependencies yourself, this is a lot of work and error prone.
One small thing you also have to do when installing it yourself is to copy the example development unicorn configuration file:
cp config/unicorn.rb.example.development config/unicorn.rb
Instructions on how to start Gitlab and how to run the tests can be found in the [development section of the GitLab Development Kit](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-development-kit#development).
## Documentation
All documentation can be found on [doc.gitlab.com/ce/](http://doc.gitlab.com/ce/).
## Getting help
Please see [Getting help for GitLab](https://about.gitlab.com/getting-help/) on our website for the many options to get help.
