GitLab support for external repositories now available in the Dashboard

August 26, 2026

Pantheon's GitLab support for external repositories is now generally available to everyone directly from the Pantheon Dashboard, alongside GitHub and Pantheon-hosted Git.

What's new

  • Dashboard support — When creating a new site, choose GitLab as your code host right alongside GitHub and Pantheon's integrated Git repository — no Terminus required.
  • Self-hosted GitLab — Connect to GitLab.com or your own self-hosted GitLab instance.
  • Token-based authentication — Authenticate using a personal access token or group access token with api and write_repository scopes.

Where to find it

During site creation, select GitLab on the Where will your code be hosted? screen to connect your repository.
