Quick summary

This tutorial shows how to integrate Snyk with GitLab by navigating to the Integrations panel and authenticating with a GitLab personal access token. Once saved, Snyk connects to your GitLab account so you can import and scan GitLab projects for security vulnerabilities.

Steps

On Snyk's main dashboard, go to the left-side panel and click Integrations.
Choose GitLab from the available integration options.
Prepare your GitLab personal access token and enter it into the provided input field.
Click Save to proceed and store your credentials.
Your GitLab account is now integrated with Snyk, and you can begin importing GitLab projects for scanning.

📌 Why this matters

Integrating Snyk with GitLab enables development teams to automatically scan GitLab repositories for open-source vulnerabilities and code security issues as part of their existing workflow. This connection allows Snyk to surface actionable security findings directly from GitLab projects, helping teams identify and fix vulnerabilities earlier in the software development lifecycle. By linking a GitLab personal access token to Snyk, organizations gain continuous, automated security monitoring without leaving their version control environment. For teams using GitLab as their primary source control platform, this integration is a critical step toward achieving a DevSecOps workflow with minimal friction.
