    repo_url="https://gitlab.com/user/repo",
    gitlab_credentials={"api_key": "your-token"},  # Optional
    branch="main"  # Optional
)

# Perform code quality analysis
analyze_code_quality(
    repo_url="https://gitlab.com/user/repo",
    language="python"  # Optional, will auto-detect if not specified
)

# Security scan
security_scan_repository(
    repo_url="https://gitlab.com/user/repo",
    scan_type="trivy"
)

# Compare changes
compare_git_changes(
    repo_url="https://gitlab.com/user/repo",
    source="feature-branch",
