GitLab

Connect GitLab and your assistant can work with your repositories and project data — searching issues, listing commits, and creating new issues.

What’s included

With GitLab connected, your assistant can:

  • Track issues — search issues and create new ones
  • Follow code activity — list commits in a repository branch

Connecting GitLab

  1. Go to Integrations
  2. Find GitLab and click Connect
  3. Authorize Town in GitLab (sign in when prompted)
  4. Return to Town

Your assistant is limited to the projects your GitLab account can access. You can revoke access anytime from GitLab.
