Connecting to your source control repository with Gearset allows you to deploy to and from your source of truth. This article shows you how simple it is to connect to your cloud-based repo on GitLab.

If your GitLab repository is not on the URL https://gitlab.com/, it's likely you have an on-premise instance, called Self-managed GitLab. See Integrating with self-managed GitLab to guide you through that process.

To connect to your GitLab account to Gearset, head to the Source control and services page and click Connect to GitLab.

This will take you to GitLab's OAuth page for authentication.

Double-check that your organization has given us access to your repo. You may see the error "Gearset can't find any repositories" which likely means you must request access from the repository owner(s). Once you are ready to proceed, click Authorize and type in your password.

Once complete, it should look like this (with your authenticated GitLab username being visible):

Additionally, your GitLab applications settings should list Gearset as an authorized app. Here, you have the ability to revoke the application at any time.
