This is compatible with self-hosted GitLab version 16.8 and later. If you are using an older version, please use the Jitera CLI.

Step Guide

Prerequisites - GitLab Setup

1. Grant admin privileges to your account or generate an API access token using an account that already has admin privileges.

💡 An API access token is required for each user upon their first import. The API access token used when connecting GitLab must be issued by an account with Admin privileges, and the scope must be set to "api". If you are unable to use a token with Admin privileges, the import cannot be performed.

1. Find your GitLab hostname

Access GitLab, click on your profile icon → go to Settings.

Click on Account and confirm the path to identify your GitLab hostname.

1. Find your API Access Token

From the Access Tokens tab, click Add new token.

Click Access Tokens, enter a token name, select the scope, and create your personal access token.

Use the assigned token to obtain your API access token.
