HI team
I have one query on gitlab. It looks like gitlab module on coder is available like below.
So team should be able to open repos with respective username/token will be asked when workspace will be launched or we have to mount user name/token for each workspace during provisioning ? Please advise on steps.
Second query > Post above fix, my understanding that users can see gitlab folders in visual studio launched through coder workspace so they can work. However how will they see gitlab GUI where git project like developer see in their desktop these days on Browser like https://gitlab.com/.. (Authentication method is not git hub during login, its simple creating user during first launch with some email id etc)
module "git-clone" {
count = data.coder_workspace.me.start_count
source = "registry.coder.com/coder/git-clone/coder"
version = "2.0.1"
agent_id = coder_agent.example.id
url = "https://gitlab.com"
base_dir = "~/projects"
}
Looking expert advise. Thank you

Thanks Ben however lets say we do not want gitlab authentication and still want to clone folders then i believe we can use clone commands from code launched VS terminal and user should be able to see cloned folders & by means of git command should be able to work as long as pod able to connect with git hosted server? (This will give them VS studio folder view)
Correct. If you don't use the authentication on Coder people can still use the CLI (or IDE) to authenticate and clone with GitLab
Second question where they will get view like GitLab gui as asked in above question..is there any way in workspace to see this kind of browser view.. ..sample view below..

Hey @charu1 👋🏼
We have a feature called external authentication that lets you configure a GitLab provider so that users can link their GitLab account before creating a workspace, therefore their credentials will be present by the time the git clone module works :)
You can read the docs here to configure it on the server: https://coder.com/docs/admin/external-auth

You might be interested in the kasmVNC module: It exposes a full desktop in your workspace https://registry.coder.com/modules/coder/kasmvnc
