Remote development
- Tier: Free, Premium, Ultimate
- Offering: GitLab.com, GitLab Self-Managed, GitLab Dedicated
Remote development is a set of features you can use to make code changes without having to install any dependencies or clone any repositories locally. These features include:
Web IDE
You can use the Web IDE to make, commit, and push changes to a project directly from your web browser. This way, you can update any project without having to install any dependencies or clone any repositories locally.
The Web IDE, however, lacks a native runtime environment where you could compile code, run tests, or generate real-time feedback.
Workspaces
- Tier: Premium, Ultimate
You can use workspaces to create a fully featured development environment directly from GitLab. This environment runs on a remote server and provides you with a complete IDE experience without having to install any dependencies or clone repositories locally.
With workspaces, you can:
- Create a new development environment.
- Access a fully featured IDE, including a code editor, terminal, and build tools.
- Integrate your workspace with the rest of GitLab, including merge requests and CI/CD pipelines.
