    • Git repositories, code review, CI/CD, and developer collaboration.
    • Teams that want git + CI + security in one licence
    • GitLab is positioned around The DevSecOps platform — repo, CI, and security in one licence rather than a toolbox of point tools. That focus is useful when buyers want a clear primary job rather than an everything-platform.
