GitLab - Create PDF, Word, Excel Documents
GitLab can be connected with Documentero to automatically create professional documents whenever activity happens in your repositories. With triggers for issues, merge requests, pipelines, and more, you can turn project updates into ready-to-share reports in .docx, .pdf, or .xlsx formats. This integration helps teams keep stakeholders informed with clear records generated directly from GitLab events.
