GitLab Connector

Access knowledge from your GitLab repositories

How it works

The GitLab Connector indexes Merge Requests and Issues from your GitLab repository.

It will:

• Index Open and Closed Merge Requests, including Title and Summary
• Index Issues (and Incidents) with their comments, both Open and Closed
• Include metadata such as:
  • URL
  • Creator
  • And more

Setting up

Authorization

This connector uses a GitLab Access Token.

To generate the token:

1. Log in to GitLab
2. In the left sidebar, click your avatar
3. Select Edit profile
4. Go to Access Tokens and click Add new token
5. Enter:
   • A name for the token
   • An expiry date

     If not set manually, GitLab will default to 365 days from the current date

6. Select the desired scopes

   See GitLab documentation for more details

7. Click Create personal access token

⚠️ Keep the token somewhere safe. Once it’s created, GitLab will not show it again.

Indexing

1. Go to the Admin Dashboard
2. Select Add Connector and click on the GitLab tile
3. If you are not self-hosting, keep the GitLab URL as default
4. Provide:
   • Your GitLab Personal Access Token
   • The GitLab repository URL (e.g., https://gitlab.com/hymalaia-ai/hymalaia)
   • Optionally, a name for your credentials
5. Click Create Connector

Hymalaia will now start indexing your GitLab repository.
