Summary

GitLab introduced a CI/CD feature for users with private repositories hosted on GitHub, Bitbucket, or other Git servers, allowing them to use GitLab CI/CD regardless of where their source code resides. Initially offered free of charge for a limited time, the free period was extended, but it ended on March 22, 2020. Users wishing to continue using CI/CD for private external repositories beyond this date need to upgrade to at least a Silver plan, although public repositories on GitHub mirrored to GitLab remain eligible for free CI/CD capabilities. As part of GitLab's commitment to transparency and open source, all public repositories on GitLab.com receive top-tier Gold plan features for free. The change means private repositories will require an upgrade to maintain CI/CD functionality, affecting users relying on GitLab Pages through private GitHub repositories unless they transition to an eligible plan. Users are encouraged to contact GitLab's Sales team for general or pricing inquiries and review support options for technical concerns.
