Gitlab is a git front end with repository management, graphs, links, goodies, commands to run, and review capabilities similar in feel to a self hosted github.
Debian is running its own Instance of Gitlab under https://salsa.debian.org, which is not based on the packaged version.
See this proposal to create a fasttrack repo for packages like gitlab.
Buster (Recommended)
Gitlab 11.8.9 is available in personal repo of gitlab maintainer targeting buster as base distribution. (no open security issues).
Add to /etc/apt/sources.list

# apt install gitlab
Unstable (be careful when updating packages)

Add to /etc/apt/sources.list
deb https://people.debian.org/~praveen/gitlab stretch-backports contrib main
Note 1: Official stretch-backports repo is also required for this personal repo to work. See Backports. You will also need contrib section Note 2: https://gitlab.debian.net is running on this version.
