Advanced Research Computing provides a self-hosted GitLab service (https://gitlab.bham.ac.uk) at the University, offering a secure, collaborative platform for managing source code and version control. Designed to support research, this service allows university users to create, share, and maintain repositories within a controlled environment that ensures data privacy and security.
