Abstract: 

Assertions about quality, reliability, or trustworthiness of software systems are important for many software applications. In addition to typical quality assurance measures, we extract the provenance of software artifacts from source code repository's—especially git-based repository's. Software repository's contain information about source code changes, the software development processes, and team interactions. We focus on the web-based DevOps life-cycle tool GITLAB, which provides a git-repository manager and other development tools. We propose a provenance model defined using W3C PROV data model and an implementation: GITLAB2PROV.
