GitLab integration
Connect your GitLab repositories with OpenProject to streamline your project management processes.
Connect your planning and coding processes seamlessly with the official GitLab integration for OpenProject. Bring your project management and development efforts into perfect alignment for better collaboration and efficiency. By using OpenProject’s GitLab integration, your team will stay focused on delivering results, without losing sight of the bigger picture.
GitLab and OpenProject are both open source, which makes them a very attractive combination. One provides the features that the other doesn't have. This expands the scenarios in which both are able to be used for. It's a classic 1 + 1 = 3 situation.
Link GitLab merge requests directly to work packages in OpenProject. This ensures full traceability between your planning and development tasks, enabling better tracking and accountability.
After enabling the integration, OpenProject provides you with git snippets that already include the necessary work package references. Simply copy the snippet from your work package to create a branch. The name will include the work package type, ID, and subject.
The GitLab integration fits right into your command-line workflow. By referencing work package IDs in your commits or merge requests, you keep OpenProject in sync with your development — directly from your code editor.
You can create a branch with or without an initial commit and start coding immediately. When you push your changes, the integration adds a note to the Activity tab of the related work package, along with the GitLab tab — no need to leave your CLI.
Monitor the status of merge requests and pipelines directly within OpenProject. Stay up to date on your team’s development progress without needing to switch tools.
The GitLab tab in OpenProject provides an overview of your merge requests, including their current status or latest comments. This ensures that all team members automatically have access to the most recent updates in one central location.
