# GitLab

GitLab is a DevOps software package that can develop, secure, and operate software.

### Usage of GitLab in Delivery Shield

* Delivery Shield can run security analysis to identify the GitHub security posture using frameworks such as [OpenSSF Score card](https://docs.opsmx.com/opsmx-secure-software-delivery-ssd-platform/user-guide/compliance-automation/openssf-scorecard).  
* It also collects metadata such as repository name, branch, list of commits, approvers etc., to perform supply chain security related analysis and populate it on the DBOM for audit purposes. 

### To Integrate Gitlab:

1. Navigate to **Setup** > **Integrations**.
