GitLab is a software repository powered by Git. There is a large public instance as well as many independently-run small ones.

Vital signs

Early August 2022, GitLab (the main instance) apparently made plans to delete repositories created on free accounts that had been inactive for more than a year, in order to decrease their hosting costs.[1] After people complained, GitLab announced that they instead going to address the old-repository problem through internal technical measures.[2]

Discovery

Repositories have numerical IDs. They can be used through https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/{id}.[3] Assuming that the ID of the most recent project is the highest, somewhere between 4% and 13% of IDs have projects at them (95% confidence interval).[4]
