If your team is using GitLab Dedicated or GitLab Self-Managed, please see the GitLab Dedicated documentation. For GitLab follow the instructions below.
Stash analyzes your GitLab repositories in depth, mapping files, functions, and dependencies to show how the codebase is structured. By maintaining this detailed analysis, Stash can:
  • Correlate open issues with the specific files and functions they affect
  • Highlight the exact locations in code relevant to a developer’s assigned task
  • Reduce time spent browsing repositories by surfacing context directly where it’s needed
This process transforms your GitLab repositories into a source of precise guidance rather than just another system to store legacy code.
