Why You Need This

How this feature boosts your daily productivity

If your code lives on GitLab, you used to drop out of 1DevTool and back to the CLI or a browser to publish or sync a repo. Now GitLab is a first-class git host: add a Personal Access Token in Settings, Git, and 1DevTool verifies which account and namespace it belongs to before anything is pushed. Publish to a personal namespace or any group you can access, set visibility, and get a clear up-front warning if your token is missing the `api` scope — instead of a failed push and a cryptic error. Self-hosted GitLab instances are supported too.

The manual way vs. the 1DevTool way

The Hard Way

# Search for the right tool online
# Switch between multiple apps
# Copy-paste data between windows
# Lose context every time you switch
# Repeat dozens of times per day

The 1DevTool Way

Everything in one workspace.
No context switching.
All tools integrated and connected.
