Option to install extension for Gitlab
Description
As a Gitlab user I think it will be useful especially for software development teams to be able to install extensions developed by 3rd party and use them within the Gitlab UI.
This is similar to what microsoft TFS already is doing see https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/marketplace/get-tfs-extensions, example of extension that could be install and access directly from GitlabUI
- time tracking tools/app
- test management tool/app
- .... This will open opportunities for developers to also develop productivity tools and publish them for free / sale and reach wide range of existing gitlab users.
Proposal
- build extension marketplace similar to https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/vsts
- extension accessible directly from within GitLab UI when installed
