Hey @Rosalin Kandapan 

Jira Cloud doesn’t have a built-in tool to automatically export configurations and commit them to GitLab. Configuration export (like workflows, fields, or schemes) typically happens through the Jira Cloud REST API, or you can use Configuration Manager for Jira Cloud to back up and compare configuration changes within Jira itself.

However, if your goal is to sync or migrate data between Jira and GitLab (ex. issues, comments, statuses, or custom fields), then you can look into an integration app.

Tools like Getint, available on the Atlassian Marketplace, support both migration and synchronization between Jira Cloud and GitLab.

You can:

• Export and sync issues or entire project data sets between Jira and GitLab repositories.

• Keep updates two-way (for continuous sync) or perform one-time migrations.

• Control what data moves (fields, comments, statuses, etc.) and automate version tracking.

So while there’s no native “export-to-GitLab” button in Jira, integrations like this can handle the automation and ensure changes are reflected in both systems.

Jira's inbuilt functionality is not sufficient to fulfill your ask, below are the external tools which can be used

• Git Intergation for Jira -- You can get more information here https://help.gitkraken.com/git-integration-for-jira-data-center/exporting-repository-configuration-via-bulk-change-gij-self-managed/
• Unito -- More information https://unito.io/blog/how-to-set-up-a-no-code-gitlab-jira-integration/ 

Another suggesstion I found on Atlassian Question is listed below

In the past, I implemented "Jira configuration as code".  Here's a summary:

• define a text file format for Jira configuration (I used YAML)
• populate those text files and manage them in a source control system (e.g. Git) - they are now the "source of truth" 
• implement a pipeline which regularly reads Jira configuration (using API calls) and checks that it matches source.  If there is a mismatch, raise errors to the admins to inform them that someone made an unauthorized config change
• to properly make a change, first change the source text files and go through standard Git-based approval processes before applying those changes in the system

You now have a record of what was changed, when, and why.

Caveat: this isn't source in the sense that it generates the equivalent Jira configuration - the "syncing" must be done manually.  This is because Jira doesn't have sufficient write APIs for configuration (particularly around automation rules).
