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.

Stretch

Gitlab 8.13.11 is available in stretch, but it is not receiving any security updates. So it is recommend to update to newer versions from unstable or stretch-backports.

# apt install gitlab

Unstable

Gitlab 11.5.7 is available in unstable (some security issues, work in progress to update to 11.5.10 which fixes all security issues).

Stretch Backports

Gitlab 11.2.8 is available in stretch-backports (still affected by some security issues). Note: Work is already in progress to update gitlab to 11.5.10 with all security fixes.

Gitlab 11.5.7 is available for stretch-backports via personal repo of gitlab maintainer (some open security issues) from https://people.debian.org/~praveen/gitlab

Note 1: Official stretch-backports repo is also required for this personal repo to work. See Backports. Note 2: https://gitlab.debian.net is running on this version.

# apt -t stretch-backports install gitlab
