  • New guidance for all GitLab users on Visibility settings   2026-10-01 14:43
    The DoIT GitLab service (git.doit.wisc.edu) is increasing account protections by reducing the number of publicly visible projects and groups. This change is in response to multiple periods of slowdown and instability that occurred in August 2026, which were caused by aggressive web scraping activity that overwhelmed legitimate requests from UW-Madison users.
  • DoIT Shared Tools - GitLab - Automated deletion of unneeded projects   2026-09-23 10:16
    On April 6, 2026, some Project Owners and Maintainers will receive a large number of email warnings about pending Project deletions. A two-month grace period will follow. Any action in a Project during the grace period removes it from the deletion list. Projects that are still inactive by early June will be permanently deleted.
