My first impression of the Issue Boards is that it reminds me of Trello quite a bit! I happen to like Trello, and whether or not this new feature was Trello-inspired I'm excited to give it a test run.

We were definitely inspired by awesome software such as Trello and Asana. We've woven it into GitLab and have some iterations to go before it's exactly what we want, but we believe we've shipped something useful so far.

Would love to hear your feedback and suggestions for improvements.

You can use GitHub's web UI to do all of that.

Right. But what I'm saying is that you have to use GitHub's web UI to do all of that.

GitLab has an API, and a it's possible to create merge requests through it. I scripted 'turn a commit into merge request' as a Gradle command at the company where I work. So, it's doable.

Someone else in this thread also linked to command line tools, I haven't looked at them, but those might promising.

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?

You might be pleasantly surprised with the migration process of issues -- I had some inlined images and checklists in Github that got seamlessly migrated to Gitlab. I was pretty happy with how well it worked.

This is just in terms of ripping off the band-aid. I'm not sure of any mirroring, but I don't think that would be worth the hassle.

Since using Asana, one feature I want in every project management / issue management tool is the @mention [0]. Asana's @mention allows you to link other tasks or issues very conveniently. Just like HipChat's commands feature mentioned in your release notes, Asana's @mention feature is extremely convenient. [0]: https://asana.com/guide/help/fundamentals/text

In GitLab you can use @ to mention people, # to mention issues, and ! to mention merge requests.

Can I mention comments on issues or review?

If you copy-paste the URL for a specific comment into a new comment it will show as `#123 (comment 234)` and link to that comment. There is no special reference syntax to link to a specific comment, because it's much more likely that you have the URL to a comment on hand, than just its ID :)

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…

Oh, good tip! Up until this moment I thought a remote mnemonic (e.g. "origin") could only refer to one. I didn't realize you could stack several behind a mnemonic.

Gitlab has a really great set of features and I appreciate the open and professional development style very much. It's very resource-hungry, though. At one point I just gave up and switched to Gogs. Less features, sure, but very fast, even with many users.

I find GL's UI easier and actually pleasant to use because it is less "busy" visually.

Yeah, I think conceptually there's nothing wrong with it, it's just that the contrast is too low for me.

Understood. :)

Yeah, if you want to use less resources Gogs is a great option. Did you know out team member Kim works on Gogs fulltime? https://about.gitlab.com/gogs/
