In this video we will show you how to add GitLab as your syncing provider in Tokens Studio and how to generate GitLab's access token with the correct permissions. Next to that we will also show how to add repositories that live in a group in GitLab.

So using this GitLab sync, we can create a token package that is synced to Tokens Studio. Every time token updates and the changes pushed to GitLab, we can make a new release and the consuming apps of this token package can use the new/updated tokens. Is that the whole point? This doesn't mean it removes the necessity of having a dedicated token package and consume straight from the GitLab repo, correct?

If you intend to use this in development I’d still recommend publishing a dedicated token package. In the described flow, a designer can make changes in Figma. These changes can then be created into a merge request (MR), which, when merged, results in a new version of the package being published. - Keegan
