/label fooCongrats to the Gitlab team for pushing this out the door so quickly! Back when we built one of ZenHub’s [1] first features — task boards inside GitHub — we believed strongly that development teams needed a single source of truth in order to move faster and communicate better. That belief has underscored everything we’ve built since. It’s awesome to see further validation for this philosophy here with Gitlab! [1] htt…
I migrated to using GitLab.com from GitHub for all of my publicly-hosted repos and use a self-hosted instance for some other projects as well. I love that I don't have to compromise features or usability when opting for the free software alternative.
I was considering going self-hosted too, but then gitlab.com got a lot faster (thanks!!)
Earlier quoted context omitted.
New features look awesome. Any idea of when we'll get global search? For a long time I've been wanting to search for a particular code snippet or file name across all projects.
Thanks! Isn't that global search possible with Elastic Search http://docs.gitlab.com/ee/integration/elasticsearch.html (EE only)?

Edit: looks like they updated this issue since I last checked and the feature is scheduled for `8.12`
Another excellent Gitlab release -- I'm super excited to hear about the addition of issue boards. Please replace Jira and github at the same time. I <3 Gitlab
Plus the GitLab team has just been killing it with each release, and it just feels good to use open source (and be able to open issues, vote on improvements, track changes for the upcoming release...). Free private repos is just icing.
Setting up a project for both just takes a few initial commands to configure git:
git remote set-url --add --push origin git@github.com:account/repo.git
git remote set-url --add --push origin git@gitlab.com:account/repo.git
I've recently moved to pushing all my open source code to both GitLab and GitHub, but using GitLab for actual issue tracking, continuous integration, build tests, etc. I've found GitLab's integrated toolset to be superior to what GitHub currently offers, and in truth there isn't really anything I feel like I've been missing (some tools like Code Climate are only free for GitHub accounts, but it's easily resolved by j…
Are you doing a read only mirror to GitHub for this?
What's the reasoning behind the different characters in slash commands? # Why /milestone %milestone /label ~foo # Instead of /milestone milestone /label foo
Using those characters also enables autocomplete in the Markdown textarea.
In the web interface, they are very convenient, but they are not required, so when using slash commands with reply-by-email, you can leave them out and write exactly what you have under "Instead of"
We're super proud of this release. As always, we're here for any questions or comments.
The issue boards are a big deal, so congrats on getting that out! I've said this before, but one huge thing you guys could do that would draw in a lot of companies to Gitlab EE is if you supported custom issue fields [1][2] with various field types. That feels like a pretty logical place to go from here, so I hope you guys are strongly considering it. [1] https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/8988 [2] https:…
