Coming Soon — The GitLab integration is currently in development. This page previews upcoming capabilities.
The GitLab integration will enable repository indexing, issue management, merge request tracking, and semantic code analysis for GitLab-hosted projects. GitLab supports both GitLab.com (SaaS) and self-hosted instances.

​
How It Will Work

GitLab connection will use Personal Access Tokens for authentication, supporting both GitLab.com and self-hosted GitLab instances.

​
Configuration Options

When setting up the GitLab integration, you’ll provide:
  • Integration Name — A friendly name to identify this connection
  • GitLab Instance URL — Use https://gitlab.com for GitLab.com or your self-hosted instance URL (e.g., https://gitlab.yourcompany.com)
  • Personal Access Token — A token with api and read_repository scopes
  • Default Project ID (optional) — The numeric project ID for your primary project

​
Creating a Personal Access Token

1

Open GitLab Settings

In GitLab, click your profile picture and select Edit profile
2

Navigate to Access Tokens

In the left sidebar, click Access Tokens
3

Create New Token

Click Add new token and configure:
  • Token name: Kasava Integration
  • Expiration date: Choose based on your security requirements
  • Scopes: Select api and read_repository
4

Save Token

Click Create personal access token and copy the generated token. Store it securely — you won’t be able to see it again.

​
Finding Your Project ID

The numeric Project ID is found in your GitLab project:
  1. Navigate to your project in GitLab
  2. Go to Settings > General
  3. The Project ID is displayed at the top of the page

​
Self-Hosted GitLab Instances

Kasava will support self-hosted GitLab installations, allowing organizations with on-premise GitLab servers to benefit from Kasava’s AI-powered features.

​
Requirements for Self-Hosted

  • GitLab CE or EE version 13.0 or later
  • HTTPS enabled (required for secure token transmission)
  • Network accessibility from Kasava’s servers
For self-hosted instances behind a firewall, contact your IT team about allowlisting Kasava’s IP ranges.

​
Expected Features

​
Repository Indexing

Once available, you’ll be able to index GitLab repositories to enable:
  • Semantic Code Search — Search code by meaning, not just keywords
  • AI Chat — Ask questions about your codebase
  • Symbol Navigation — Jump to function definitions and class declarations

​
Issue Sync

Sync GitLab issues to Kasava Products:
  • View issue details, descriptions, and comments
  • Track issue status (open/closed)
  • Link issues to Plans and other Kasava entities
  • See assignees and labels

​
Merge Request Tracking

Monitor merge requests within Kasava:
  • View MR status and approval state
  • See linked issues
  • Track CI/CD pipeline status
  • Monitor merge conflicts

​
