The GitLab Foundation launched its Handbook in September 2022 to streamline information sharing, particularly in our all-remote environment. Inspired by the GitLab, Inc. Handbook, we have tailored it to meet our unique needs.
Our handbook serves as a single source of truth, ensuring organizational information is accessible to all team members, regardless of when they join. It also reflects our commitment to Transparency by making certain information available to external stakeholders. Some content is restricted to GitLab Foundation team members.
