Gitlab

We will focus on the integration of GitLab, a popular tool for version control, with Microsoft Teams, a widely-used platform for team communication. Currently, there is a notable gap in the market: GitLab has not yet developed an official integration for Microsoft Teams.

We were going to create our Slack bot. Prior to Axolo, the engineers were really just copy/pasting from GitLab to Slack. Obviously that's tedious work to copy and paste like that. As a side-project, we started working on our Slack bot to replace this copy/paste. We though of several other tasks the Slack bot could do.But it's difficult to find enough time in a day to build a Slack bot in addition to your work, and features, and other things that are important to your users. Then we found Axolo.

Since its creation, GitLab has been a popular choice for its CI/CD and pipelines focus. GitHub, on the other hand, has been the go-to choice for its ease of use and popularity among developers. That's why, when I first started using GitLab two years ago, I felt a discrepencies between the two flows for reviewing code.

Slack is a popular tool for receiving these notifications in real-time, but setting up this integration can be tricky. In this article, we'll explore two alternative solutions for setting up GitLab Slack notifications for self-managed instances in 2023. Whether you choose to use a third-party tool or manually configure the notifications, we'll guide you through the steps and offer tips and best practices for a successful setup. Let's get started!

Even if GitLab is behind GitHub in terms of integrations, there are some great tools that you should implement within your engineering team. In this article, I will share with you the top 4 GitLab integrations that I use daily.

Developers are more productive when they have a continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline in place. GitLab CI/CD is a popular tool for managing pipelines, and one of its great features is the ability to send notifications to Slack. With Slack notifications enabled, developers can get real-time updates on the status of their pipeline, so they always know what's happening with their code changes. In addition, Slack notifications can help to improve collaboration among team members by providing a central place for discussion and feedback.

In this article, we will be going through the code review best practices in GitLab. If you are interesting in learning how to use GitLab to be more productive while reviewing code, follow us!
