How to Work with GitLab Repositories
Step 1: Access the Repositories List
- Go to Git Integration via the Global menu
- Click on Repositories from the integration menu
Step 2: Use the Service Filter
If you have multiple GitLab instances connected, use the Service filter to narrow down your list. This allows you to view repositories only from the selected GitLab instance.
Step 3: Understand the Repository Display
Each repository entry includes the repository name and the group name it belongs to. Click on a repository name to open its detail view.
Step 4: Repository Options and Actions
Inside the repository detail, you’ll find several useful actions:
- (Un-)Register all integrations: Creates or removes webhooks in the linked GitLab project (see “Connection Troubleshooting” for more info)
- Edit: Allows manual change of repository attributes—only recommended for debugging
- Synchronize: Pulls in the most recent data from the GitLab repository
- Merge Requests: Shows a filtered list of all merge requests related to this repository
- Choose sequence template: This feature is still in development
