Summary


In this chapter, we have had a look at the project management side of things. You can now make use of the built-in possibilities to distribute tasks across team members through issues, keep track of things that still have to do with the issues, or enable observers to point out bugs.

You have learned about wikis and how you can keep track of documentation, manuals, and much more, either through changing it online or editing it locally.

In the next chapter, we will look at the workflows that are possible with GitLab, and find out which one is right for you and your team!
