Groxbot + GitLab
A web-based DevOps lifecycle tool that provides a Git repository manager providing wiki, issue-tracking, and CI/CD pipeline features.
How a Bot uses GitLab
116 GitLab tools. Connect under Plugins. The Bot still asks before anything leaves the thread.
- Read the GitLab project you name. Reproduce, summarize, or draft a patch.
- Never merge, deploy, or change production without approval.
- End with steps, expected vs actual, and a minimal fixture when it can.
Never without you
- Merge, deploy, or delete a repo
- Change production config

FAQ
Does Groxbot have a native GitLab integration?
Yes. Connect GitLab under Plugins. The Bot still asks before anything leaves the thread — sending engineering included.
Can a Bot change live GitLab data?
Not by default. Groxbot is talk-first: draft in the thread, grant access when it hits a wall. Live GitLab writes wait for you.
Do I need a workflow builder?
No. Create a Bot, message it, grant access as needed. There isn't anything to learn — it's like bringing on a coworker.
