Wow. Well, if that's the case I'll never be using Gitlab then. :( I'd pay money to have my username, too.

Unfortunately, you won't be able to claim a username that is already taken. That would be unfair to other users. GitLab.com is growing fast, but most people should be able to still claim their username. Of course, you always have the option to run your own instance relatively easily [0].

GitHub has a policy of releasing dormant usernames, will GitLab do that?

Two questions: 1. Does this work with private repos? 2. Are there traffic limits? (use case e.g. when I reach a HN Top 10 ;)

1. Yes, you can use Pages with private projects 2. No, there are no traffic limits.

thanks for your reply jobvandervoort! Are not you afraid that people will use gitlab as cheap hosting service? So what are the limitations on content I can host there? Policy? Can I use it for commercial usage?

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.

Im still amazed how people actually have time for this SJW stuff in the actual real world.

Thought I'd leave it here given that I just googled the term: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=SJW

I really like GitLab, we use it and they follow the business model I wish GitHub had. But as they become bigger and bigger I have to wonder how much longer until they start antagonizing GitHub with these feature clones, and who should have my support when that day comes.

I'd say that it's a pretty easy choice. Pick the open source one.

I am usually in the Open Source camp, but I don't think the choice is so easy here. Not only does GitLab copy GitHub, it does so by relying on a lot of Open Source sofware written by GitHub and/or GitHub employees.

You may like GitHub or not, but you cannot deny they contribute a lot to Open Source. I am not entirely sure how much that has changed since his resignation, but here is Tom Preston-Werner's position on Open Source: http://tom.preston-werner.com/2011/11/22/open-source-everyth...

Still looks like GitLab EE only :(

(Disclaimer: I wrote b3cmd)

We have a wildcard DNS entry pointed at our server and we use b3cmd[1][2] for static servers. It also handles docker-compose projects. SSL everywhere, CORS supported, branches / namespaces supported. Pretty great so far.

Sensitive people enjoy being outraged.

Clourfare provides free SSL - just proxy through them.

edit: disregard, I was wrong. If I'm not mistaken, you have to change the DNS of the domain to something *.cloudflare.com to be able to use their service, so it won't work in this scenario.

It will. There is no need to change the nameservers of the domain for Github/Gitlab.
