Gitlab is meant to be an alternative to entire suites of products from competitors so it makes sense. At work we make use of most of the features of gitlab so its a really great thing they include them all.

Honestly I'm not sure how you could even be confused by it as an individual developer either. I used it for my individual projects before getting a real development job and didn't have any issues. It different to github but not worse or less correct. Its just github has become the standard on what the default layout and names should be.

I mean, if you're an individual contributor who just sticks to making merge requests it's still more confusing than GitHub et al, but I'll grant that it's at least livable. If you have to touch literally any other part of it, or (in my case) are the person setting it up though it's just about impossible.
