Save GitLab as Markdown
Save exports GitLab repositories, issues, merge requests, and wikis — with proper Markdown formatting and code-block preservation — in one click.
★★★★★ Chrome Web Store · 3 free saves per month · no account required
What Save captures from GitLab
- ✓ README and wiki pages with headings and code blocks
- ✓ Issue/MR title, body, status, and discussion threads
- ✓ Labels, milestones, and assignees as frontmatter
- ✓ Linked related issues and referenced commits
What gets stripped
- × Project-sidebar navigation and footer
- × "Files changed" tab UI (diffs still preserved when relevant)
Save uses site-specific AI prompts to tell noise from content. The Markdown you get is optimised for note-taking apps (Obsidian, Notion) and AI context windows (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini).
