Summary

This chapter was intended to provide more background on the origins and development of GitLab. A tool does not arise from the void. In the 1990s, it became clear that in different parts of the world, people came to the same conclusion: linear software development is not the right approach for all projects. The solution to this problem has finally reached the operations department after 10 years through DevOps. DevOps is a way of working and a culture with accompanying tools for which GitLab has been built. In the next chapter, we will see how GitLab can contribute to a better DevOps experience.
