Great, thanks. For the upcoming release (8.11, August 22nd), we're adding deploy keys with push permissions [0]. This would allow you to basically do the same thing. That said, that doesn't make it very clear that you can use these for this purpose, so I've added a note to re-evaluate these. We're also expanding OAuth scopes, potentially making it easier / more attractive to integrate [1].

Since I have your attention, something else that I think should be on your radar is creating/defining supported injection points in GitLab's UI. If you haven't done so, you should look at what Microsoft has done with Visual Studio Team Services. By providing supported injection points in GitLab's UI, GitLab will be able to signal to others, that they are a solution you can safely build on top of.

  That's a very interesting idea. Right now, to integrate deeply, you'd have to go through the heavy-handed process of creating a service [0]. That then does allow you to do almost anything, but the barrier to entry for that is high. I created an issue for your proposal and hope you can provide some more feedback on how this would work, ideally [1].

    I'm constantly impressed by how involved GitLab engineers are not just on HN but other communities when brought up. Not sure if you guys have people constantly looking for mention of "GitLab" but even if you are, the responsiveness and agreeableness to look into issues and invite people to be a part of the solution they seek out are phenomenal habits and I applaud you guys for it. It's one of the many reasons I converted a while back from Github and probably wont be looking back anytime soon.

      Thanks! Glad to hear that. I wish all companies would be responsive and easy to talk with. We do our best to be both. > Not sure if you guys have people constantly looking for mention of "GitLab" We do! Channels straight into chat.

    This is great to hear and I personally think this the next battle front for gaining/retaining Git users in Enterprise. I'm currently working on integrating with Bitbucket and Microsoft, and I'll comment on the issue in a few weeks and provide some feedback.
