Hi all,

I just saw Git web based UI management today. I wonder if someone can share their experience using either on of them so I can compare the benefit and drawback of those 2 options. Anyone can share?

Thanks

I like gitlab because of in house installation and much better continous integration and deployment support. Free version is extremely generous with features as well.

I would use neither in production. Internal repos stay in our development environment where the dev / qa / testing work is done and the artifacts are built. The artifacts are version named and replicated to our data-centers and public clouds.

Our dev environment have several different technologies for git repositories, based on what each service team prefer. The build systems reference their code repos.

But from what I understand, even if you're using github https://about.gitlab.com/features/github/, you can have the CI/CD of gitlab feature.

Also, I wonder what's the benefit of in house installation in your case?
