DevPerform reads merge requests, approvals, and commits from GitLab to compute the same metrics it does for GitHub.

​
Connect GitLab

  1. Sign in to DevPerform (with GitLab, or any provider).
  2. In Admin → Connect a code host, click Connect GitLab.
  3. Authorize DevPerform on the GitLab consent screen. It requests read-only access (read_api, read_user) — enough to read merge requests, projects, and members; it never writes to your code.
  4. DevPerform creates your GitLab workspace, auto-tracks the projects you can access, and starts syncing immediately.
Connecting GitLab also signs you in — a GitLab-only team never needs a GitHub account.

​
Self-hosted GitLab

Self-hosted instances (behind your own SSO) are supported. When connecting, expand Self-hosted? and enter your instance URL (e.g. https://gitlab.your-company.com). Your instance enforces its own SSO during authorization. Self-hosted instances need a one-time OAuth application registered on your GitLab. Contact us and we’ll walk your admin through it.

​
What gets read

  • Merge requests + approvals, comments, commits, and diffs (cycle time, review health, churn)
  • Project deployments and labeled issues (for DORA — optional)
  • Group / project members (for the one-click team import)
Read-only throughout. DevPerform never pushes code, comments, or status checks.
