  1. How GitLab can help in research reproducibilityThis post details how GitLab can be used to enhance research reproducibility by leveraging its integrated features like Git repository hosting, LFS, and Continuous Integration. It explains the concept of reproducibility, its spectrum, and how GitLab's features, particularly its integrated CI runners and Docker container registry, facilitate computational reproducibility. The post provides examples of `.gitlab-ci.yml` configurations for R packages and static website generation with Nikola, highlighting the ability to use different containers per workflow step and trigger multi-project pipelines. It also references external resources for further exploration.
