GitLab CE or Community Edition is an open source application primarily used for hosting Git repositories, and other development-related features such as issue tracking. It's designed to be hosted using your own infrastructure and give your development team the flexibility to deploy an internal repository, a common way to interact with users, or a way for contributors to host their own projects.
