I'm missing a way to orchestrate reviews/merges across multiple repos Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GitLab combines source code management, CI/CD pipelines, issue tracking, and DevOps automation into a single, unified platform. I love how seamless the Merge Request workflow is, and the pipeline configuration using .gitlab-ci.yml gives us full control. Its self-hosting option is a big plus for privacy-focused teams.

The UI can feel heavy at times, and pipeline debugging isn’t always straightforward for beginners. Also, compared to GitHub, the community plugins and marketplace are more limited. Occasionally, documentation for advanced features could be more detailed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
