I would so switch to using Gitlab if my username was available. I'm `echelon` here, on Twitter, on Gmail, on Github... I was so disappointed to be `echelon1`.

Is there any means to claim a username if it isn't in use?

This is great news, Gitlab really is coming along very, very fast. Does it say anything about where the sites are going to be hosted? Are they using AWS underneath or something? It's curious timing since literally just the other day I moved my Hugo site to Bitbucket + Aerobatics. But since I have all my other stuff on Gitlab already, it'd be kinda convenient.

Same. I'm @kel on github and twitter but that's taken on here and gitlab. I emailed to ask since it was just being squatted on but gitlab told me no.

Nice! Finally a good documentation for GitLab pages. This was literally the only missing feature() that made me keep a GitHub account.

() and by missing feature I mean "I never thought it was as good as GH product."

I especially like that they have added configuration options to the .gitlab-ci.yml. If I am not mistaken, this means your project can auto-deploy using an arbitrary build process. Here's what an example .gitlab-ci.yml looks like with a GitLab Pages build configuration: https://gitlab.com/pages/pages.gitlab.io/blob/master/.gitlab...

A couple friends and I made something similar for GitHub Pages using Travis CI as our static deployment build-and-deploy host. For example, here's what our .travis.yml looks like: https://github.com/L33T-KR3W/soundcasts-web/blob/master/.tra... and here is the actual deploy command that is being run to `git push` to GitHub Pages: https://github.com/L33T-KR3W/soundcasts-web/blob/master/pack...

The GitLab approach is cleaner and requires less tooling. Nice work!

Yes. I lobbied several companies to terminate their enterpise contracts with github because of their racist attitudes. All switched within 2 weeks. Some to VS Team Services, some to Gitlab. My work projects went to MSFT, but I think I will transfer my side projects to gitlab from bitbucket, since they have pages now.

I believe they are using Azure underneath, but someone from the gitlab team should probably confirm.

This is great -- it has a killer feature that I think GitHub Pages is sorely missing (unless it exists and I'm just ignorant to the fact). Custom domains WITH SSL. Right now I have my custom domain set up on GitHub, but it's not SSL. I would love to be able to do that.

Do you have to hand over your private keys for that?

How would you do that without handing over your private keys? Otherwise gitlab couldn't serve your site. Also, as soon as you point an A record of your domain to somebodies server, they're able to get valid certificates through acme (which is probably what they do). If you don't trust somebody, don't point your domain to them.

Wow. Well, if that's the case I'll never be using Gitlab then. :(

I'd pay money to have my username, too.
