# GitLab + Asana: Sync tasks with issues, projects with repos

> Turn GitLab issues into Asana tasks and back with real-time 2-way sync without writing a single line of code.

### What is GitLab?

GitLab is a centralized cloud or on-premise platform for teams to manage the entire software development lifecycle. It offers a code repository, tools for automated testing and deployment, and security features to protect your codebase.

### Why sync Asana + GitLab?

With [GitLab + Asana powered by Unito](https://unito.io/integrations/asana-gitlab/?utm_source=asana&utm_medium=marketplace&utm_campaign=asana_gitlab) you can automatically dispatch Asana tasks from GitLab, populate your repositories with Asana task information, or both simultaneously with 2-way sync. Unito allows you to sync issues, pull requests, projects, comments, assignees, custom fields, and more.

### Use cases
- **Collaborate across business and software teams:** Align project managers, product managers, marketers, or stakeholders in Asana on development work happening in GitLab with real-time updates. Link status, comments, attachments and any changes automatically with 2-way sync.
- **Exchange with external organizations**: Share updates and information with clients, customers, freelancers or other external contacts in disparate tools, all from Asana.
- **Parallel data migration:** Transfer data directly from GitLab to Asana, keeping both apps running in sync for as long as needed for a smooth migration.
