DoIT Shared Tools - GitLab for Research

The GitLab platform (git.doit.wisc.edu) supports collaborative research and research reproducibility by allowing UW-Madison researchers to back up, version and share their code using git version control. This shared GitLab instance can be a useful tool for UW-Madison researchers and labs in the following ways.

Researchers can use GitLab to:

  • Back up their version controlled software
  • Collaborate with UW-Madison colleagues on source code for research tools and web applications
  • Perform data analysis and validation of results using GitLabCI
