GitLab rarely appears on its own. 83% of these developers also work with JavaScript, and the rest of the common pairings are Python (76.9%), Bash / Shell (70.5%) and HTML (68.9%). Searching for one of those alongside GitLab narrows the pool without losing the people who would actually be a fit.
A typical GitLab developer in the index made 163 public contributions over the last twelve months across 52 public repositories. That median is the useful filter: it separates people who write GitLab regularly from people who listed it once.
8 countries have enough GitLab developers in the index to break out separately, so you can start from a location rather than filtering down to one.
