# Get started

Welcome to OpenText™ PulseUno, a secure end-to-end solution that provides Git-based version management, continuous integration support, secure artifact storage, code vulnerability scanning, and extensive plugin-based integration.

In this topic:

## Overview

Discover what you can do:

- Work directly with an integrated Git server using standard Git functionality. Create, clone, and mirror Git repositories. Collaborate on version control with individuals and teams. Commit, review, and merge changes.

- Continually build and inspect the health and quality of code by running chains with dependency checkers, static analysis, and unit test plugins. This information helps you decide when changes are ready to be merged, deployed, and released.

- Use vaults to securely deploy and manage collections of packages, such as binaries, artifacts, and metadata. Vaults support a number of package managers and integrate with build and development pipelines.

- Scan for third-party dependencies and enable ongoing detection of dependency vulnerabilities in chains and vault packages.

- Visualize team activity.

- Explore the codebase.

- Use pull requests to review, evaluate, and merge a set of defined changes. Pull requests are a collaborative process that enables teams to review proposed code changes, add review comments, approve changes, and merge changes into a mainline.

- Dimensions CM: Collaborate on development projects using requests, backlogs, and iterations, to plan, track, and perform tasks. You can sync a default Git branch with a Dimensions CM stream.

- Combine PulseUno continuous integration capabilities with numerous third-party and OpenText tools, including extensive integration with OpenText Software Delivery Management.
