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]
