GitLab with Codex Cloud Agent

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!

This would be AWESOME. I’m currently running a few private github repos, following our gitlab repos, but I really don’t like it.

I hope its not the case of OpenAI signing a contract with Microsoft only allowing them to integrate with GitHub, I’d much rather trust my repo to GitLab..

Definitely Codex should be more agnostic and not depend on a single source code platform.
