A project site can be created using GitLab. You must be registered as a UT employee to be able to do so.
Support
GitLab support through LISA is limited. LISA is mainly focused on keeping the services operational. The end user is, therefore, recommended to consult the GitLab documentation before use. It contains descriptions of the most relevant topics.
