How to Register on Our GitLab Instance

The postmarketOS project uses the Git version control system. Our Git repositories are stored on our GitLab instance.This is where you can create or comment on an issue (a.k.a. “bug report”), or contribute to our codebase. To contribute in these ways, you will need to register an account. In accordance with our Privacy Policy, you need only provide an email address, no credit card number or other such personal data is collected.

To create an account on our GitLab, go to gitlab.postmarketos.org and click on the “Register” button. Upon submitting the form, you will have to wait for one of our administrators to approve your registration; this will typically take about a day — if it is longer than that then please ask in the postmarketos-devel Matrix/IRC room wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Matrix_and_IRC and tell us the username you have used for registration. Check your email for a message titled: “Confirmation instructions”, open it and click on the link “Confirm your email address”. You will also receive a “Welcome to GitLab!” email.

Once logged into our GitLab, you can fill out your Profile by clicking on the avatar at the top right of the screen. For added security we recommend that you go to the “User settings” sidebar and add your SSH key(s) and GPG key(s). Two Factor Authentication (2FA) is also recommended. Go to “User settings”->”Account” and click on “Manage authentication”. To learn more, consult the GitLab Docs at docs.gitlab.com
