GitLab Integration

Shipstar integrates with GitLab to transform your merge requests, CI/CD pipeline events, and releases into professional marketing content. Whether you use GitLab SaaS or self-managed, Shipstar keeps your product communications current with every deployment.

Merge request monitoring and analysis

Every merged MR is automatically tracked and analyzed. Shipstar extracts the intent behind code changes from MR titles, descriptions, and labels to build accurate, well-structured changelogs that reflect what actually shipped.

Pipeline-triggered content generation

Hook Shipstar into your GitLab CI/CD pipelines so content is generated at the moment you deploy. When your pipeline completes successfully, Shipstar creates draft release notes, changelog entries, and social posts — ready for review or automatic publishing.

GitLab Release integration

Shipstar reads from and writes to GitLab Releases. Import existing release data to backfill your changelog, or let Shipstar publish polished release notes directly to your GitLab project for a consistent developer experience.
