Much faster! I notice it's rendering large source files instead of displaying them as binary now, so great! One issue: I'm getting a really weird animation/hover over effect on the Gitlab icon in the upper left corner. Is that meant to happen? Is there a way to disable this. Other than that, everyone should upgrade to this version.

Glad to hear that the rendering got better for you. That animation is our loading indicator introduced in GitLab 8.4. There is no way to disable it. However, it seems to have a lot of fans https://twitter.com/jerbob92/status/692089402030460929 I hope it is less weird now that you know what it is for.

Rendering is flawless now.

I figured it was for loading, but I still don't like it (and it renders very strangely in Safari -- try mousing over it).

I would really like the option to disable it. I'm sure others like it though, cool option to have.

Uh oh, here comes the "max-width = readability" cargo cult.

"cargo" cult??? Don't you just mean "cult"? How does this have anything to do with cargo cults even metaphorically?

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

well, that's something but 1200px width is still way too long for optimal reading of lines at that font size.

You should not have to install bundler on your system to upgrade to 8.5. If someone else encounters this please open an issue so we can diagnose the problem.

Here's my console buffer from the installation: https://gist.github.com/cheald/6002dbe275a379a5f85a tl;dr: apt-get install gitlab-ce failed with "bundler not found". rvm use system; gem install bundler, apt-get install gitlab-ce and it worked fine.

Can you create a backup with sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:backup:create and send us your results to support@gitlab.com? Please mention its coming from this thread.

That's the 95th percentile, not the mean. This means that 95% of all transactions completed _within_ the time, with only 5% exceeding it. Right now our 95th percentile hovers between 1.5 and 2 seconds, the mean hovers between 500 and 700 ms.

GitHub's 98th percentile is still just 414ms though. So you still have a lot of catching up to do.

We're aware. GitHub did an amazing job on scaling GitHub.com. We'll get there!

We're bringing the option to customise the interface to CE. If you run your own instance, you can replace the logo to disable it.

Just to be clear. All we need is the output from the console not the actual backup.

What I see from the result your getting is the actual backup command failing. From my experience this might be do to how its executed through the upgrade process and we can have a closer look at what failed when running the create command.

Thanks, will do. Looking forward to the interface customization options.

I've moved all my private repos to Gitlab based on the chat on here and other places recently RE Github, Gitlab, and other solutions. I'm very happy overall, the interface is great. It's a bit slower than github currently (the web interface) as I'm using the online version rather than self hosted, but apart from that it's really bloody good. I'll be recommending it to others going forward and using it for all new rep…

I guess it's good if you just want private stuff, but if you want to build portfolio type thing or want discoverability private stuff isn't ideal
