# GitLab











> You're viewing the Catalog Classic docs. To see the new Catalog experience, see the [Catalog documentation](/catalog/).


The GitLab integration allows you to associate your Catalog Classic service to one or more [GitLab projects](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/get_started/get_started_projects.html).
You can configure multiple instances of this integration, including multiple connections to the same third-party provider.


For each linked project, the UI can show a **Project Summary** with simple data pulled from the GitLab API, such as the number of open issues, open merge requests, contributors, languages, and latest releases.

For a complete tutorial using the Konnect API, see [Import and map SaaS GitLab resources in Catalog Classic](/how-to/install-and-map-gitlab-saas-resources/).

## Prerequisites

## FAQs

- Is self-managed GitLab supported in Catalog Classic?


  No. Support for self-managed GitLab (GitLab Dedicated or Self-managed) was removed from Catalog Classic on October 26, 2026.
  If you had a GitLab self-managed integration instance, it will remain visible but can't be authorized or ingest resources.
  The GitLab integration still supports GitLab.com (SaaS).
