Right, I just realised the GitLab Web IDE is running fully in the browser, so there is no Terminal. Maybe they are considering a later version which is more like Codespaces, letting you develop and run your code, keeping the browser as the user interface.

Hi, GitLab PM for the Web IDE and Remote Development here! You're right, the Web IDE itself is running fully in the browser, but if you try to open a new Terminal panel you'll see that it can be configured to connect to a remote host. The setup (for now) requires a bit of manual config on your end but we're working on making that easier in the future!
This blog post gives a little more high level overview of the current functionality and where we're headed: https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2022/12/15/get-ready-for-new-g...
