Version control with GitLab
Version control with GitLab is provided as a central service of Philipps-Universität Marburg. Based on the distributed version-control system Git, it enables a versioned storage and management of data. Furthermore, it is ideal for software development and the work on research data (active research-data management). Especially collaborative work can be carried out easily using GitLab. In addition, GitLab supports working in groups and in projects, e.g. through project-specific wikis, issue tracking (ticketing systems), or Kanban boards, and also offers tools for quality assurance of code and data (continuous integration). GitLab pages offers the possibility to create an appealing presentation of project and their results directly via GitLab.

To successfully setup a group for a user, the user has to log in once before requesting the group.
Costs
Every user has a quota of 10 GB and is allowed to create up to 100 personal projects. For research groups specific groups are created within GitLab with a quota of 50 GB. An extension of the available storage can be done the same way as for the file service of the HRZ.
