Is there documentation/walkthrough as to how this process would work? Especially for those of us who have never used gitlab before?
Otherwise this seems like another technical barrier to entry for what should be a relatively nontechnical task.
Not yet, as I'm still familiarizing myself with gitlab. It'll try to document something this week and we can poke at it and see if it is the right tool. I'm hesitant to add new tools because it just adds more burden to the sysadmin team. But I think something to track it as a ticket I think would be useful than none at all.
