Why not Bitbucket, which is free and private?
+1 for BitBucket - I'm using it without any problems for many years!

#82Disclosure: GitLab Frontend Engineering Intern Some benefits for GitLab.com, in my opinion: GitLab.com has free public and private repos, only limit is the repo size (max 10GB, for comparison the Linux repo is ~1.5GB). Also includes completely free CI :) Plus everything is out in the open, and CE is entirely open source! Regarding performance, we've gotten that feedback from a lot of users, and we're working very har…
Just a note, Github now has free private repos as well.
This is the closest thing I've seen to pulling information from one's ass.

#83GitHub. It's like McDonalds, may be you don't like it, but you always know what to expect. Moreover, you'll find lots of tools that already integrated with GitHub (for example, https://waffle.io ).
Except for private repos it's the most expensive choice.

Have you tried out Atlassian's JIRA software? It's free for up to 5 users I think.
My last corporate job used JIRA. I'm convinced that smaller teams will be much more productive with a looser issue/task tracking mechanism, like a Google doc or Trello board. One of the smaller teams used this, and it seemed to be more helpful than harmful: https://kanbanflow.com/
Loved Google Doc also. I used to use Trello until I figured out anyone in team able to delete the card items, therefore I couldn't track back the history.
Re: Ask HN: GitHub vs. Gitlab?
#85github's where the people are. Everyone already has a github account. Either way git itself means there isn't too much vendor lock-in, just the ancillary parts of the project (issues, wiki, project site)
I still find this argument hard to follow.
You have a person who wants to contribute code to you open source project, but that person is stymied by requiring an account on a service other than GitHub.
What kind of people are you expecting to be doing drive-by code contributions and what kind of code quality are you expecting from them?

what's the current version of gitlab running on GitLab.com (not the self-hosted)? And how can we check this in the future?

#88Why not Bitbucket, which is free and private?
Atlassian has become much less of a caring company since they’ve gone public (or are preparing to). They’ve completely ruined SourceTree on Mac (an unnecessary interface redesign that took functionality away which still hasn’t been fixed almost 9 months later) and have been very careless in HipChat iOS client’s updates (shipping crippling bugs and not fixing them). They also used to be very friendly to feedback on Twitter but now are completely silent and don’t help or comment at all. Atlassian might’ve been a good company at some point but they aren’t any more. I’d rather use a fully open source solution that is mostly developed in the open (GitLab) than to be locked into a proprietary package (GitHub) or a downright user-hostile option (Bitbucket).

#89bitbucket has free private repos and you have to pay for public ones....
