@ameyw thanks for creating the issue! I have some questions about this.

Is the Gitlab on-prem API guaranteed to be the same as the cloud one? Which version of GL / the GL API are you running?

[ameyw]

@sherifnada The CE and EE versions have similar api. we are currently on 13.9. Since the Cloud and on-prem have same documentation i suppose the structure remains same. GL API version is v4. Attached image for reference.

Is this issue resolved ..

[sherifnada]

@ameyw we're currently rewriting the Gitlab connector to move away from the Singer-based one. Once that is done it should be fairly straightforward to add this functionality. Would you be open to creating a PR to support it?

[sherifnada]

next step for this issue would be to:

1. allow arbitrary URLs like in GitLab source - not possible to configure self managed instance #6453
2. inform users in the docs that this is chiefly made to work with hosted Gitlab but could work with the "appropriate version" of self-hosted (we should definitely be more specific than "appropriate version" if possible)
