Use GitLab for Devops implementation in Pega

I see gitlab offers a REST API - so you could build a PRPC REST connector to access it.

With regard to using it within the context of PRPC provided DEV-OPS - do you mean to use it as a Repository?

Hi John,

Thanks for your comments.

With regard to using it within the context of PRPC provided DEV-OPS - do you mean to use it as a Repository?-- Yes , I mean to use it as repository.

The context of PRPC provided DEV-OPS - As, Jenkins is one of the most popular self-managed open source build automation and CI/CD developer tool. Can we skip Jenkin and use GitLab as a fully integrated single application for the entire DevOps lifecycle ?

Shiv

Hi Shiv,

I haven't tried this myself : but please see this article - https://community.pega.com/knowledgebase/custom-repository-types

It looks like you can implement a series of Activities to provide a custom repository.

Hope this helps !

Thanks,

John

This is an old thread, but I wanted to make sure others that come here also understand the GitLab is not a recommended repository. The releases feature could be leveraged but the standard source control mechanism of Git is ill suited for Pega.
