# GitLab

You can connect GitLab and Jam in order to instantly create GitLab issues right from Jam's browser extension. Every GitLab issue you create with Jam automatically includes:

* Console logs
* Fully inspectable network requests
* URL, timestamp and country
* Device, OS, Browser
* Viewport size
* Network speed

That way, it's perfect for engineers to help them debug issues faster.

You can configure all the relevant GitLab Issues fields right from Jam – like repository, assignees, labels and more. Our goal is to make you 20x faster at logging bugs to GitLab Issues.
