Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all disclosures normally required in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Fiscal Year The Company's fiscal year ends on January 31. For example, references to fiscal 2024 and 2023 refer to the fiscal year ending January 31, 2024 and the fiscal year ended January 31, 2023, respectively. Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, allocation of revenue to the license element in the Company's self-managed subscriptions, estimating the amortization period for capitalized costs to obtain a contract, allowance for doubtful accounts, stock-based compensa tion expense, fair value of contingent consideration, fair valuation of retained interest in an investee on loss of control, valuation allowance for deferred income taxes, valuation of intangibles assets and impairment of goodwill and equity method investments. The Company bases these estimates on historical and anticipated results, trends, and various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include 100% of the accounts of wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries as well as a variable interest entity for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The ownership interest of other investors is recorded as noncontrolling interest. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies There were no significant changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies disclosed in “Note 2” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K f or the fiscal year ended January 31, 2023.

No other individual country exceeded 10% of total revenue for any of the periods presented. The Company operates its business as a single reportable segment. Deferred Revenue During the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, $90.6 million and $59.8 million, respectively, of revenue was recognized, which was included in the corresponding deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the reporting periods presented. Remaining Performance Obligations As of April 30, 2023 and January 31, 2023, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to billed and unbilled remaining performance obligations for which revenue has not yet been recognized was approximately $460.3 million and $435.9 million, respectively. As of April 30, 2023, the Company expects to recognize approximately 70% of the transaction price as product or services revenue over the next 12 months and 92% over the next 24 months. Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, and accounts receivable. At times, cash deposits may be in excess of insured limits. The Company believes that the financial institutions or corporations that hold its cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these balances.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	5. Fair Value Measurements The Company determines fair value based on the fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability and establishes that the fair value of an asset or liability shall be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The classification of a financial asset or liability within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3: Inputs are unobservable based on the Company’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. The inputs require significant management judgment or estimation. The fair value of the Company’s Level 1 financial instruments, such as money market funds which are traded in active markets, is based on quoted market prices for identical instruments. The fair value of the Company’s Level 2 financial instrumen ts such as commercial paper, corporate debt and U.S. government securities are obtained from an independent pricing service, which may use inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable in the market, including readily available pricing sources for the identical underlying security that may not be actively traded. The Company’s marketable securities are held by custodians who obtain investment prices from a third-party pricing provider that incorporates standard inputs in various asset price models.

Equity In connection with the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”), on October 18, 2021, the Company filed a restated certificate of incorporation that authorized the issuance of 1,500,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, 250,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock at $0.0000025 par value for each class of shares. Common stockholders are entitled to dividends when and if declared by the board of directors. No dividends have been declared to date. The holder of each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote and the holder of each share of Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes. Common Stock The Company had shares of common stock reserved for future issuance as follows (in thousands): April 30, 2023 January 31, 2023 Class A and Class B common stock Options issued and outstanding 11,149 12,686 Shares available for issuance under Equity Incentive Plans 25,914 21,483 RSUs and PSUs issued and outstanding 11,531 8,336 Shares reserved for issuance to charitable organizations 1,555 1,636 ESPP 5,814 4,303 Total 55,963 48,444 Early Exercised Options (subject to a repurchase right) Certain stock option holders have the right to exercise unvested options, subject to a repurchase right held by the Company at the original exercise price, in the event of voluntary or involuntary termination of employment of the holder. As of April 30, 2023 and January 31, 2023 , there were 100,150 and 194,304 shares, respectively, of unvested options that had been early exercised and were subject to repurchase for a total liability of $1.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively. The liability as sociated with early exercised options is included in other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For accounting purposes, issuance of shares will be recognized only on vesting. However, shares issued for the early exercise of options are included in issued and outstanding shares as they are legally issued and outstanding. Equity Incentive Plans In 2015, the Company adopted the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), in which shares of common stock of the Company are reserved for issuance of stock options to team members, directors, or consultants. The options generally vest 25% upon completion of one year and then ratably over 36 months. Options generally expire ten years from the date of grant. All these options qualify as equity settled awards and contain no performance conditions. In September 2021, in connection with the IPO, the board of directors and stockholders approved the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) as a successor to the Company’s 2015 Plan (together the “Plans”). The 2021 Plan authorizes the award of both stock options, which are intended to qualify for tax treatment under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, and nonqualified stock options, as well for the award of restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance stock units (“PSUs”) and stock bonus awards. Pursuant to the 2021 Plan, incentive stock options may be granted only to the Company’s team members. The Company may grant all other types of awards to its team members, directors, and consultants. The Company initially reserved 13,032,289 shares of its Class A common stock, plus any reserved shares of Class B common stock not issued or subject to outstanding grants under the 2015 Plan on the effective date of the 2021 Plan, for issuance as Class A common stock pursuant to awards granted under the 2021 Plan. The number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan increases automatically on February 1 of each of the years from 2022 through 2031. As such, effective as of February 1, 2023, 7,557,298 shares were added to the 2021 Plan. The awards available for grant under the above Plans for the pe riods presented were as follows (in thousands): April 30, 2023 January 31, 2023 Available at beginning of period 21,483 18,248 Awards authorized 7,557 7,673 RSUs and PSUs granted (3,944) (6,651) RSUs and PSUs canceled and forfeited 390 657 Options canceled and forfeited 415 1,496 Options repurchased 13 60 Available at end of period 25,914 21,483 In the event that shares previously issued u nder the above Plans are reacquire d by the Company, such shares shall be added to the number of shares then available for issuance under the 2021 Plan. In the event that an outstanding stock option for any reason expires or is canceled, the shares allocable to the unexercised portion of su ch stock option will be added to the number of shares then available for issuance under the 2021 Plan. Both Plans allow the grantees to early exercise stock options. Stock Options, RSUs and PSUs The following table summarizes options activity under the Plans, and related information: Number of Stock Options Outstanding (in thousands) Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Remaining Years Aggregate Intrinsic value (in millions) Balances at January 31, 2023 12,686 $ 12.30 7.00 $ 470.8 Options granted — — Options exercised (1,122) 6.87 Options canceled — — Options forfeited (415) 17.01 Balances at April 30, 2023 11,149 $ 12.67 7.02 $ 197.3 Options vested at April 30, 2023 6,808 $ 10.36 6.56 $ 136.1 Options vested and expected to vest at April 30, 2023 11,149 $ 12.67 7.02 $ 197.3 No options were granted during each of the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022 was $32.6 million and $30.8 million, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the exercise price and the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of exercise. As of April 30, 2023 and January 31, 2023, approximately $37.4 million and $46.2 million, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation cost was related to stock options granted, that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 and 2.1 years, respectively. The expected stock compensation expense remaining to be recognized reflects only outstanding stock awards as of the periods presented, and assumes no forfeitures.

These RSUs are grants of shares of the Company’s common stock, the vesting of which is based on the requisite service requirement. Generally, the Company’s RSUs are subject to forfeiture and are expected to vest over two As of April 30, 2023 and January 31, 2023, approximately $357.2 million and $254.8 million, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation cost was related to RSUs granted to team members other than the CEO, that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.4 years and 3.2 years, respectively. The expected stock compensation expense remaining to be recognized reflects only outstanding stock awards as of the periods presented, and assumes no forfeitures. In June 2022, the Company granted 0.4 million PSUs to senior members of its management team subject to revenue performance condition and service conditions. The number of awards granted represents 100% of the target goal; under the terms of the awards, the recipient may earn between 0% and 200% of the original grant. The performance condition is set to be achieved in fiscal 2025 and the service condition in the calendar year 2025. The Company recorded $0.4 million of stock-based compensation expense related to PSUs during the three months ended April 30, 2023. As of April 30, 2023, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to these PSUs was $6.1 million to be recognized over a period of 2.6 years. CEO Performance Award In May 2021, the Company granted 3 million RSUs tied to its Class B common stock to Mr. Sijbrandij, the Company’s co-founder and CEO, with an estimated aggregate grant date fair value of $8.8 million. During each of the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $0.4 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the CEO RSUs. As measured from the grant date, the derived service period of the respective tranches ranges from 2 to 7 years. As of April 30, 2023, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to these RSUs was $5.5 million which will be recognized over 5.6 years. 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) In September 2021, the Company’s board of directors and its stockholders approved the ESPP to enable eligible team members. Effective as of February 1, 2023, 1,511,459 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock were added to the 2021 ESPP. During the quarter ended July 31, 2022, the Company’s stock price on the purchase date, May 31, 2022, was lower than the Company’s stock price on the offering date. As a result, the offering in effect was reset with the lower stock price becoming the new offering price and rolled over to a new 24-month offering period. The reset was treated as a modification resulting in incremental expense totaling $9.9 million, which is being recognized over the remaining requisite service period as of the date of reset. The following table summarizes assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the ESPP for the offering period in effect using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model: Three Months Ended April 30, 2023 2022 Risk-free interest rate 1.62% - 4.55% 0.07% - 0.47% Volatility 44.95% - 55.19% 38.47% -46.61% Expected term (in years) 0.50 - 2.00 0.57 -2.07 Dividend yield —% —% The Company record ed $4.5 million and $4.4 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP during the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022 , respectively.

Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract]
Joint Venture and Equity Method Investment	12. Joint Venture and Equity Method Investment Joint Venture In February 2021, the Company along with Sequoia CBC Junyuan (Hubei) Equity Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership) and Suzhou Gaocheng Xinjian Equity Investment Fund Partnership (Limited Partnership) executed an investment agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) to establish GitLab Information Technology (Hubei) Co., LTD (“JiHu”), a legal entity in the People’s Republic of China. The Company accounted for JiHu as a variable interest entity and consolidated the entity in accordance with ASC Topic 810, Consolidation . During fiscal year 2023, JiHu closed its Series A-1 through A-3 rounds of common stock financings where investors contributed a total of $54.6 million, net of issuance costs. In March 2022, one of the potential investors who could not participate in the Series A-1 financing round provided a $2.9 million loan to JiHu as an advance pending a capital contribution. The loan was repayable within ten business days of receipt of capital contribution from the investor. JiHu received an equity contribution from this investor during the Series A-2 round and repaid the loan in full in July 2022. Subsequent to the closing of the financing rounds d uring fiscal year 2023 , the Company retained control over JiHu with its equity stake reduced from 72% to 55% . As of April 30, 2023, the Company still retains control over JiHu with its equity stake at approximately 55% . In April 2022, the board of directors of JiHu approved an employee stock option plan (“JiHu ESOP”) for its employees. As a result of forfeitures triggered by the departure of a key executive during the three months ended April 30, 2023, the Company reversed stock-based compensation previously recorded which resulted in a $2.5 million gain. For the three months ended April 30, 2022, the Company recorded $0.2 million of stock-based compensation expense. As of April 30, 2023, approximately $6.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost was related to the JiHu ESOP that is expected to be recognized over 3.0 years. The Company considers the RSAs and stock option awards granted pursuant to the JiHu ESOP as potentially dilutive equity instruments that will result in dilution of the Company’s stake in JiHu upon vesting of such award (or, in the case of option awards granted pursuant to the JiHu ESOP, upon vesting and subsequent exercise into shares of JiHu common stock). Any such dilution will be accounted for as an equity transaction. Until such awards granted pursuant to the JiHu ESOP are vested (or, in the case of option awards, vested and ultimately exercised into shares of JiHu common stock), the Company will continue to record the recognized stock-compensation expense of JiHu as part of the noncontrolling interest. Operating Leases The Company recognized $0.2 million and $0.1 million of operating lease expense during the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. JiHu has non-cancelable operating leases maturing over the next three years with total lease payments of $1.5 million and total present value of lease liabilities of $1.4 million. Lease expense for the one short-term lease was immaterial during each of the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022. The table below presents supplemental information related to operating leases for the three months ended April 30, 2023 (in thousands, except weighted-average information): Weighted-average remaining lease term (in years) 1.62 Weighted-average discount rate 3.7 % Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities $ 485 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities $ 160 Selected Financial Information Selected financial information of JiHu, post intercompany eliminations, is as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended April 30, 2023 2022 Revenue $ 1,464 $ 1,093 Cost of revenue 491 300 Gross profit 973 793 Operating expenses: Sales and marketing 2,084 1,387 Research and development 1,956 928 General and administrative (1,444) 754 Total operating expenses 2,596 3,069 Loss from operations (1,623) (2,276) Interest income 315 67 Other income, net 269 674 Net loss before income taxes (1,039) (1,535) Net loss $ (1,039) $ (1,535) Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest $ (430) $ (514) April 30, 2023 January 31, 2023 Cash and cash equivalents $ 51,093 $ 56,744 Property and equipment, net 1,039 1,135 Operating lease right-of-use assets 1,300 998 Other assets 3,575 3,950 Total assets $ 57,007 $ 62,827 Total liabilities $ 7,713 $ 8,871 Equity Method Investment In April 2021, the Company reorganized Meltano Inc. (“Meltano”), which started as an internal project within the Company in July 2018, into a separate legal entity. The entity was funded by the Company’s contribution of intellectual property with the fair value of approximately $0.4 million and a preferred stock financing from third parties of $4.2 million, representing 12% ownership on a fully diluted basis. On April 4, 2022, Meltano closed its Series Seed-2 round of preferred stock financing and raised $7.2 million. Pursuant to this transaction, the board composition of Meltano changed and the Company no longer has the power to appoint the majority of the board of directors of Meltano. Consequently, despite having majority voting rights at the stockholder level, the Company no longer has control over Meltano. The loss of control of a majority owned subsidiary resulted in the deconsolidation of net assets of $9.4 million and non-controlling interest of Meltano of $11.3 million, recognition of retained interest at fair value of $15.9 million , and a gain of $17.8 million recorded in other income (expense), net in April 2022 . The fair value of retained interest was determined using the Option Pricing Model (“OPM”) Backsolve approach based on the most recent funding round of preferred stock. As of the date of the loss of control, the basis difference between the fair value of investment in Meltano and the Company’s share in the net assets of Meltano was attributed to equity method goodwill. Effective April 4, 2022, the Company accounts for this investment under the equity method and has recorded $11.7 million in “equity method investment” on its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2023. During the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized a loss from equity method investment of $0.7 million and $0.2 million, net of tax on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, respectively. As of April 30, 2023, the Company owns 96% of the common stock in Meltano. As of April 30, 2023, Meltano has 3.1 million employee stock options and 3.1 million shares of preferred stock outstanding that are potentially dilutive equity instruments and will result in dilution to 48% in the Company’s stake in Meltano once all these instruments get converted into common stock of Meltano.

Income Taxes

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	13. Income Taxes For the three months ended April 30, 2023, the Company recorded income tax expense of $1.5 million on pretax loss of $50.7 million . The income tax expense for the three months ended April 30, 2023 was primarily related to the Company's foreign and domestic operations. For the three months ended April 30, 2022, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $2.5 million on pretax loss of $23.9 million. The income tax expense for the three months ended April 30, 2022 was primarily related to the Company's foreign and domestic operations and the establishment of a deferred tax liability relating to the deconsolidation of a majority-owned entity, Meltano, and simultaneous establishment of the Company's equity method investment. The Company's provision for income taxes is based on its worldwide estimated annualized effective tax rate, except for jurisdictions for which a loss is expected for the year and no benefit can be realized for those losses, jurisdictions for which forecasted pre-tax income or loss cannot be estimated, and the tax effect of discrete items occurring during the period. The tax provision for jurisdictions for which a forecast cannot be estimated is based on actual taxes and tax reserves for the quarter. Under the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes , the determination of the Company’s ability to recognize its deferred tax asset requires an assessment of both negative and positive evidence when determining the Company’s ability to recognize its deferred tax assets. The Company determined that it was not more likely than not that the Company could recognize certain deferred tax assets. The evidence evaluated by the Company included operating results during the most recent three-year period and future projections, with more weight given to historical results than expectations of future profitability, which are inherently uncertain. Certain entities’ net losses in recent periods represented sufficient negative evidence to require a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. This valuation allowance will be evaluated periodically and could be reversed partially or totally if business results have sufficiently improved to support realization of deferred tax assets. As of April 30, 2023, unrecognized tax benefits approxim ated $7.8 million, of which $0.5 million would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. As of January 31, 2023, unrecognized tax benefits approximated $7.5 million, of which $0.5 million would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. The Company anticipates an immaterial amount of unrecognized tax benefits to reverse in the next 12 months. It is the Company’s policy to classify accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. For the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized an insignificant amount of interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits. Accrued interest and penalties were $0.2 million as of April 30, 2023 and $0.2 million as of January 31, 2023, respectively.

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	3 Months Ended
	Apr. 30, 2023
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all disclosures normally required in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Fiscal Year	Fiscal Year The Company's fiscal year ends on January 31. For example, references to fiscal 2024 and 2023 refer to the fiscal year ending January 31, 2024 and the fiscal year ended January 31, 2023, respectively.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, allocation of revenue to the license element in the Company's self-managed subscriptions, estimating the amortization period for capitalized costs to obtain a contract, allowance for doubtful accounts, stock-based compensa tion expense, fair value of contingent consideration, fair valuation of retained interest in an investee on loss of control, valuation allowance for deferred income taxes, valuation of intangibles assets and impairment of goodwill and equity method investments. The Company bases these estimates on historical and anticipated results, trends, and various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include 100% of the accounts of wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries as well as a variable interest entity for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The ownership interest of other investors is recorded as noncontrolling interest. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	The Company determines fair value based on the fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability and establishes that the fair value of an asset or liability shall be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The classification of a financial asset or liability within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3: Inputs are unobservable based on the Company’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. The inputs require significant management judgment or estimation. The fair value of the Company’s Level 1 financial instruments, such as money market funds which are traded in active markets, is based on quoted market prices for identical instruments. The fair value of the Company’s Level 2 financial instrumen ts such as commercial paper, corporate debt and U.S. government securities are obtained from an independent pricing service, which may use inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable in the market, including readily available pricing sources for the identical underlying security that may not be actively traded. The Company’s marketable securities are held by custodians who obtain investment prices from a third-party pricing provider that incorporates standard inputs in various asset price models.
