GitLab looks very tempting, congrats to their team. Question: I would like to migrate from Github to Gitlab, but can not really move. Is there some bridge, which would mirror Github repos (with Issue tracker and pull requests) on Gitlab?

#53I just migrated our companies repos away from Bitbucket to GitLab. The whole process was super-easy. Really happy so far!

#54Shouldn't the video start with "We make software by turning issues into ideas", not the other way around? We're always trying to promote this idea of "don't sell the product, sell the problem you're solving" and your opening statement completely tips that on its head. Not knocking GitLab in any way, I love your product and have used it for a while. Amazing work. Just me being a pedant ;)
They're using "issue" as in "issue tracking", not "issue with how the world works". In this sense, you take an idea and write it down as an issue, which can then be discussed and implemented.

#55Also noticed the speed/performance improvements lately.
Great job, GitLab!

#56I'll often check out software, notice something small that I can easily fix, and spend 5 minutes fixing and testing it. But then I have to spend another 5 minutes going on GitHub, forking the repository to my profile, going back into my shell, changing the URL for origin, pushing the change, going back to GitHub, creating the pull request on the project, and then going back to my profile and deleting the fork that I have no interest in maintaining. This should be so much easier.
That being said, I run Gitlab under a small docker box and I couldn't be happier with it. It's so darn easy to setup. Grats to gitlab team.

#57Is it a matter of taste or Github's UI indeed looks more professional than Gitlab's one? I've tried to switch from GH to GL hosted for my personal projects multiple times and no luck. I like the fact that Gitlab is open-source and it has a lot of features but I still don't feel comfortable using it. Any opinions and preferences on GH's UI vs. GL's UI?
I think GH gives off this impression because the UI looks like it has more stuff going on at the same time. It's probably an illusion caused by GH's design having more contrast between elements. GL is trying to look minimalistic like a clean sheet of paper. But that's kind of my issue with GL's interface: the contrast between elements is so low that it really looks like a blank sheet of white paper. But it's not pape…

#59I've actually just lately been looking into a new all-in-one package like this for our company. Git hosting, code reviews, issue tracking, wiki, and nice project management features all in one place. My current systems-under-test are Phabricator and Jira.
Anyone have an opinion on how GitLab compares to those two?
