Commits, comments, issues, wiki pages and more

Are you a GitLab lover? Well, we built something just for you!

With Flock’s new GitLab integration, you can stay on top of what’s happening in your repository, without having to trawl through a few hundred lines of your git log.

You can receive real-time notifications in Flock for a range of actions in your Git repository — commits, comments, issues, merge requests and wiki pages.

Be in the know — of every action in your Git repository.

Here are a few examples of notifications you will receive:

Push:

A commit is pushed to the repository

 

A tag is pushed to the repository

 

Issues:

An issue is created/updated/merged

 

Comments:

A comment is added to an issue or a merge request

 

Merge requests:

A merge request is created/updated

 

Wiki page:
