Linking GitLab as a source

Alpha release

This source is currently in alpha. The interface and available tables may change.

Sync issues, merge requests, commits, pipelines, and more from a GitLab project into PostHog.

Adding a data source

Go to the sources tab of the data pipeline section in PostHog.
Click + New source and then click Link next to GitLab.
Create a personal access token in GitLab under User settings → Access tokens with the read_api scope. For self-managed GitLab, note your instance URL (for example https://gitlab.example.com); for GitLab.com use https://gitlab.com. You'll also need the project, given as either a group/project path or a numeric project id.
Back in PostHog, set the GitLab instance URL (leave it as https://gitlab.com for GitLab.com), paste your token into the Personal access token field, enter the Project, and click Next.
Select the tables you want to sync, set the sync method and frequency, then click Import.

Once the syncs are complete, you can start using GitLab data in PostHog.

Table	Description	Sync method
`issues`	Issues in the project	Incremental
`merge_requests`	Merge requests in the project	Incremental
`commits`	Repository commits	Incremental
`pipelines`	CI/CD pipelines	Incremental
`releases`	Project releases	Full refresh
`milestones`	Project milestones	Full refresh
`branches`	Repository branches	Full refresh
`tags`	Repository tags	Full refresh
`labels`	Project labels	Full refresh
`members`	Project members	Full refresh

Incremental tables sync only new or updated records on each run. Full refresh tables reload all data on each sync.
