Have you tried it? I was not able to connect to any of the gitlab CE instances I have access to.

Oops I closed the issue by mistake 😠

so, I guess that I could put this in a private layer, but not into ~/.spacemacs??

(defun dotspacemacs/user-config ()
  "Configuration function for user code.
This function is called at the very end of Spacemacs initialization after
layers configuration. You are free to put any user code."

  (unless (package-installed-p 'gitlab)
    (package-install 'gitlab))

I still don't understand the syntax for a melpa or github install via private layer. which faq is most human-readable?

@paynito If you want to just install the gitlab package from melpa you can put it in dotspacemacs-additional-packages

Have you read https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/blob/develop/doc/LAYERS.org ? It should explain layers.

For my testing of gitlab I made a private layer using M-x configuration-layer/create-layer with the following packages.el

(setq gitlab-packages
    '(
      ;; package names go here
      gitlab
      ))

;; List of packages to exclude.
(setq gitlab-excluded-packages '())

;; For each package, define a function gitlab/init-<package-name>
;;
(defun gitlab/init-gitlab ()
  "Initialize my package"
  (use-package gitlab
    :defer t
    :init
    (setq gitlab-host "HOST"
          gitlab-username "USERNAME"
          gitlab-token-id "TOKEN"))
  )
