GitLab was found by Dmitriy Zaporozhets and Valery Sizov in October 2011. It was distributed under MIT license and the stable version of GitLab is 10.4 released in January 22, 2018.

Gitlab is a service that provides remote access to Git repositories.

These additional features include managing the sharing of code between different people, bug tracking, wiki space and other tools for 'social coding'.

Git: A local tool installed on your computer to track code changes.

GitHub / Bitbucket: Remote websites used to host and share your Git code.

GitLab: A complete, all-in-one platform that hosts your code and automates your entire development process.

Why GitLab?
GitLab is a github like service that organizations can use to provide internal management of git repositories. It is a self hosted Git-repository management system that keeps the user code private and can easily deploy the changes of the code.

GitLab is a user friendly web interface layer on top of Git, which increases the speed of working with Git.
