EMBL GitLab Server

The EMBL Git server offers all EMBL staff members a convenient way to store, control and publish the source code of their projects. It uses gitlab, which offers commandline and web access to the stored data.

Usage:

read our list of Frequently Asked Questions
git is meant predominantly for handling source code and text files, not for storing large files such as images, etc. Please make sure your repository size stays below 2GB!
Login is provided using EMBL LDAP authentication, external users need to be registered first by an EMBL user. For this, send an email to git@embl.de with the external user's name, affiliation, and email address. External users can not create their own repositories
Some hints about the visibility levels of your projects:

Public: visible for everyone - google will find it
Internal: only EMBL users will be able to see it
Private: for project member eyes only

The following rules apply:

Repositories on the EMBL Git server are only granted to EMBL members
External users can be added as cooperators on a project, but the projects themselves have to be lead by someone with an active EMBL contract
Should the project leader leave EMBL, then the project has to be transferred to someone else or the complete repository will be removed
