Summary

APM currently supports GitHub and Azure DevOps as package sources. GitLab is another widely used platform, both as GitLab.com (SaaS) and self-hosted instances.

Scope

• GitLab.com (SaaS)
• GitLab Self-Hosted (same API, configurable base URL)

Implementation approach

This will be addressed via generic git URL support in #72 rather than a GitLab-specific API integration. Supporting https://gitlab.com/org/repo.git (and git@gitlab.com:org/repo.git) as dependency references in apm.yml covers both SaaS and self-hosted GitLab instances without requiring GitLab API v4 integration.

dependencies:
  apm:
    - https://gitlab.com/acme/coding-standards.git
    - https://gitlab.internal.corp.com/team/security-rules.git

Authentication works via standard git credential helpers (SSH keys, credential managers) — no GITLAB_APM_TOKEN env var needed.
