Their performance graph shows response timings up to 25 seconds [1]. GitHub's mean web response time goes up to 200 milliseconds. The difference is two orders of magnitude. Is GitLab really that much slower?! [1] https://about.gitlab.com/images/8_5/issue_timings.png [2] https://status.github.com/

Note that this is 95th percentile and the peak is _before_ the changes of 8.5 _and_ that this is data of GitLab.com that has problem not typical for a GitLab instance.

That said, we're fully aware of the shortcoming of GitLab.com. It has been slow and unresponsive. We're working hard on improving it [0] and this release has been a step in that.

This comment is not meant to be the main judgment on what is otherwise an interesting update, but: > To focus on your content shows a screenshot with extremely long text lines that are far harder to read than than when the sidebar thing helps keep the lines to a still-too-long-but-not-as-bad length. How does nobody at GitLab realize that you need some max-width or a container or something to keep text line length com…

There's already a setting for that http://imgur.com/GftE0Wx

Ok. I followed the Explore link, but I cannot find the search field on that page. It seems to only allow me to browse by trending/most-stars/all. Hitting 's' key on my keyboard doesn't seem to change the page in any way. Am I missing the search field? (Note, this is using Firefox/Iceweasel 44.0.)

I think you must be logged in to see the complete UI (with search field)

Indeed. The search field is currently only displayed for users that have logged in.

Thanks for that. Can you give us details on when this change will happen?

We're not sure yet when it will happen, but we'll make it clear when we do. Update: our aim is before Q1 ends.

Great, thanks for the update.

Very easy upgrade from 8.4.3 to 8.5 on Ubuntu using the omnibus packages. I did have to install bundler in my system Ruby (I have RVM on the system; the install scripts executed via apt-get apparently doesn't care), but that was the only hiccup.

I'd love to try GitLab out, but the OSX installation instructions [1] are a bit of a put off. I'm not even sure if that's the right URL, but it's where google takes me. The instructions refer to a "runner"; I'm not really sure I understand what that is, and it's not explained anywhere. The "ci" makes me think this is something to do with continuous integration, so I'm really not sure if this is the right thing to be looking at.

The instructions also say "(In the future there will be a brew package)"; this is sorely needed!

GitLab itself doesn't run on OS X. To try it, you can simply sign up on gitlab.com, it runs the enterprise edition.

I'm sorry this is confusing. We're working on a better, more clear website. You were looking at the CI Runner, which is a part of our Continuous Integration.

Simply go to https://gitlab.com/ and click in the top right to sign up for a free account. You can use that instance or set your own up by following the instructions at the download page [0].

I'm Brazilian and needed a few seconds to understand what they meant. I kept reading it like to-do(s). In the end they're just playing with the word: https://translate.google.com/#pt/en/todos

Thank you for making me click. That's such a bad pun. (I'm Brazilian too)

I'm sorry, I thought it was hilarious.

We wanted to acknowledge some people's frustrations with our chosen way of writing Todos.

You're reading the docs for the continuous-integration runner :)
