  • project management enables tracking issues  and creating wikis as a separate repository to keep documentation there,

  • language allows you to specify the language or languages you generally use to write your programs (4gl is out of the list),

  • integrations are used to enable notifications.

 

The list of advanced options/settings depends on the GIT hosting.
