How it works

The GitLab Connector picks up all of the Merge Requests and Issues in a specified repository.

  • It will index both Open and Closed MRs. This includes the Title and Summary.
  • It will index Issues (and Incidents) including comments both Open and Closed.
  • Includes certain other metadata such as the URL, creator, etc.
