Dear OpenAI team,
I’m a developer currently using the Codex Cloud Agent and would love to see broader SCM support beyond GitHub. In particular, I (and many others in the developer community) host private repositories on self-hosted GitLab instances for various reasons, including data sovereignty and deeper DevOps integration.
While I understand Codex CLI can be pointed at any local repo, that solution doesn’t offer the seamless, cloud-integrated experience of the Codex Cloud Agent. Moreover, using the CLI entails additional API usage costs, and for many of us already using IDE-native tools like Cursor, that cost isn’t justified for local use cases.
It would be incredibly valuable to have Codex Agent support GitLab repositories — particularly self-hosted ones — with the same functionality currently available for GitHub. This could include:
- Authentication via GitLab PATs or OAuth
- Support for browsing, querying, and editing GitLab repos
- Codebase Q&A over private/self-hosted repos
Please consider expanding support in this direction. It would significantly enhance the usability of Codex for a broader segment of professional developers.
Thank you!
