Use this interactive demo to learn how to connect your GitLab project to Redmine in minutes.

Quick summary

The GitLab–Redmine integration lets teams link their GitLab project directly to a Redmine issue tracker by configuring the integration through GitLab's project Settings. Once connected, developers can reference and manage Redmine issues without leaving their GitLab workflow.

Steps

Log in to your GitLab account.
Navigate to your target GitLab project.
Go to your project's Settings and select Integrations.
Search for Redmine in the integrations list and click Configure.
Enter the required fields: Project URL, Issue URL, and New Issue URL.
Click Test Settings to verify the integration is working correctly.
Once confirmed, click Save changes to activate the Redmine integration.

📌 Why this matters

Integrating GitLab with Redmine bridges the gap between source code management and project issue tracking, giving development teams a unified workflow without switching tools. Teams that use Redmine for bug tracking and task management can link commits, merge requests, and branches directly to Redmine issues, improving traceability and accountability. This integration reduces context-switching, accelerates release cycles, and ensures that every code change is tied to a tracked work item. For teams already invested in both GitLab and Redmine, this native integration is a zero-cost way to tighten collaboration and maintain a complete audit trail across the software development lifecycle.
