Organize work with projects

Create projects to host your codebase in GitLab. You can also use projects to:

  • Track issues
  • Plan work
  • Collaborate on code
  • Use CI/CD tools to continuously build, test, and deploy your app

Projects can be available publicly, internally, or privately. GitLab does not limit the number of private projects you can create.
