Version projects and import custom packages from GitLab in Hex

The GitLab integration in Hex automatically backs up every version of a project to a GitLab branch in a repository of your choice. You can either let Hex keep your GitLab branches up to date for you, or, if you’re a team that uses pull requests, you can require that team members get their work reviewed before publishing a Hex app.

If you use custom Python packages stored in a private GitLab repo, it's easy to bring them into Hex with just a few clicks. Once a Hex admin has configured GitLab access and installed packages from a repo, any Hex user with access can import those packages just as easily as importing something from the standard library.

Access to custom packages can be permissioned at a group and user level, so custom code or data is always kept secure.
