It can index your GitLab instance (along with all its repositories and metadata);
It connects code, merge requests, CI\/CD pipelines, work items, and more;
And it represents everything as a graph that you can query. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nHow Can Orbit Help in Practice?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Time savings: Fewer manual searches and less context switching between screens.
Instead of piecing together an answer from dozens of API calls or manually inspecting repositories, Orbit provides a single overview of dependencies, ownership, and blast radius\u2014enabling teams and AI agents to quickly understand the impact of every change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What Questions Can Orbit Answer? For Example:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- What will break if I change a specific service?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Which merge requests touched a specific file in the last 90 days?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Who performed the most code reviews in this group?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Where are open critical vulnerabilities located, and which pipelines introduced them?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Which projects depend on a specific library?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
