One-tap gitlab.com sign-in; guided setup for your own server or token. — WHAT YOU CAN DO — A Home screen you assemble • Up to eight modules: review requests, your MRs, issues, todos, failed, active and recent pipelines, recent projects • Every section renders as a list or a carousel; content, order and density are yours to set • Developer, Reviewer and Lead / DevOps presets rebuild Home in one tap • A status line: signals awaiting you, offline and unsent state • Swipe actions right in the lists: approve, merge, close an issue, retry or cancel a pipeline, snooze for a day Merge Requests • Full diff viewer with syntax highlighting and word-level changes • Comment on lines; threaded discussions — reply, resolve, edit • Apply suggestions from a review straight into the code • Create MRs; edit title, description, labels, assignees, milestone • Approve, unapprove, merge, rebase, close, reopen Issues • Create, comment, close, reopen, lock • Edit title, description, labels, assignees, milestones, due dates • Emoji reactions, subscribe, search across all projects CI/CD Pipelines • Active builds across all your projects right on the Home screen • Live status with stages, jobs and duration in the list • Run a pipeline on any branch; retry, cancel, play manual jobs • Raw build logs refreshing live; environments, deployments and runners Repository • Browse the file tree, view blobs with highlighting, line history (blame) • Create/delete files; branches and tags, compare diffs, commit history • Wiki, Snippets and Releases — browse and edit; README rendering Todos, groups and Ops • Unified todo inbox by project and action; mark-all-done and swipe actions • Activity feed, GitLab status, group list drilling into projects • CI/CD variables, schedules, runners, environments, registry (Maintainer+) • Project members — add, change access level, remove — FAST AND OFFLINE — Merge requests and issues are ready on Home from cache, even offline.
