Describe the need

The SLIM framework needs to expand its support for repositories hosted on platforms beyond GitHub, such as GitLab, Bitbucket, and others. This expansion is particularly important for projects like NISAR, which heavily utilize GitLab repositories. By broadening SLIM's compatibility with multiple version control systems, the framework can better serve a diverse range of projects and teams, ensuring seamless integration, consistent workflows, and enhanced collaboration across different platforms.

Things to consider:

1. API integration: GitLab and Bitbucket REST and GraphQL APIs
2. CI/CD pipelines need to be compatible with GitLab and Bitbucket
