We currently use Bitbucket (do not recommend) and we're evaluating GitLab. First impression is that it's a great package. The only downside for us is that we have a lot of legacy baggage, mostly rather opinionated build tools set up the way we liked it. Getting that to work with GitLab, which itself has a very opinionated view of the CI/CD pipeline is a bit of effort. But for a greenfield project I would go with GitL…

@GitLab Way too cool than GH, no need for separate special branch for html publishing, free private repos.

GitLab is great but I believe it depends on the need of the project, here are a few examples of the things that might an issue On GitLab CE, you don't have the possibility to see the history of edited comments. Indeed, if you need to manage a community or even to simply have full traceability, this is an important feature that is missing. Furthermore, the ability to approve an MR is something that I miss using GitLab…

Thanks for the feedback.

I wanted to share the following issues [1] & [2] with you and everyone else since the features you've mentioned are already being discussed. Feel free to leave your thoughts in there:

1 - A proposal to move MR Approvals to CE https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/42096

2 - Full history of edited comments https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/3706

GitLab has the ability to require merge requests

The ability to require, not to approve if I'm not mistaken.
