Forge: Self-Hosted GitLab Support

Forge: Self-Hosted GitLab Support

Forge has always supported using a custom Git provider for your projects, but starting today Forge has first-party support for self-hosted GitLab installations.

This means that Forge now provides a better integration for your self-hosted GitLab repositories:

  • Validation that the repository and branch exists
  • Automatically adds the server key to the repository so that it can be cloned

You can connect your self-hosted GitLab installation in your account page, https://forge.laravel.com/user/profile#/source-control

We hope that you enjoy this new feature.
