How do I set up GitLab in amber?

This article in our help center walks you through setting up GitLab in amber.

How is GitLab connected to amber?

You click Connect in amber and sign in to GitLab. amber registers itself with GitLab automatically, so you don't need to set up your own OAuth app. For self-managed GitLab (version 18.2 or later with the MCP server enabled), you enter your own server URL in the advanced settings. Note: GitLab currently doesn't issue refresh tokens in this setup, so users need to reconnect after about two hours.

What can amber agents do in GitLab?

Agents read code, commits and merge requests, create issues and merge requests, write comments and reviews, create branches and commits, and run or cancel CI/CD pipelines. This lets you automate recurring development tasks without any programming. For each action, admins decide whether it is allowed, requires confirmation first or is blocked.

Which GitLab content can I search with amber?

Issues, merge requests, comments and discussions, as well as Markdown wiki pages across all your projects and groups. amber carries GitLab's permissions over into the search index: employees only find what they are allowed to see in GitLab.

Which permissions does amber use in GitLab?

Actions run on behalf of the signed-in person and with their existing access rights in GitLab. Since each person connects their own GitLab account, amber can't do anything they couldn't do in GitLab themselves.

What does GitLab add to the amber Data Layer?

In the Data Layer, issues and wikis from GitLab sit alongside your other connected sources such as ticketing systems, Confluence pages or specifications. amber answers questions about a feature with requirements, implementation and discussion in a single response.
