1. Multiple authentication Levels

2. Group-level milestones

3. Attachments in issues

4. Innersourcing

5. Work-in-Progress Protection

Simply add 'WIP' to the title of a merge request to prevent anyone from merging it. This gives you all the code review power of merge requests, while protecting unfinished work.

6. Large open source projects

7. Powerful Issue Tracker

8. Search through Commits

GitLab not only allows you to search through code, but also searches through your commit messages.

9. Don't take our word for it.

Agilob contributed a great article about why you should choose GitLab for your next open source project.
