Welcome to GitLab

You can sign up for an account on the GitLab sign-up page.

User Registration and Sign-in Process

Sign-up is a one-time process that creates an account. This allows users to manage their projects, access their repository, and share code.

1. The registration form includes fields for user information (name, email, password), organization name, and other preferences.
2. The system generates a unique username and email address based on the user's input.
3. Users can choose to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) or not, depending on their preference.

Sign-in Process

Sign-in is the process of logging in with your registered credentials. This allows users to access their account and perform various actions within GitLab.

• Usernames can be accessed from any GitLab page (e.g., project management, repository browsing).
• Passwords must meet a minimum strength requirement (8 characters, 4 uppercase letters, 4 numbers).

Signing in on GitLab.com vs. gitlab.isis.vanderbilt.edu

GitLab.com is a public platform that allows users from around the world to collaborate and share code.

The GitLab website has its own sign-in page, but it's not publicly accessible.
