Developer Tools & IT
What the GitLab connector can do
GitLab runs source control, issue tracking, and CI/CD pipelines for software teams in one platform. An engineering Space in type.com can ask the agent to open a new issue, create a branch for a fix, or archive a project that's wrapped up, so repository changes are requested and tracked from the same thread as the discussion.
