This is a rough summary of what all I read in the blog post: 1. projects. replaces trello, waffle.io, zenhub and many other similar services. 2. code reviews allow approval/request changes as sunny's screenshot shows 3. reviews can be made mandatory. 4. github platform integrations is getting a roadmap 5. a graphql api to query their database 6. enforce 2fa in organizations (much love for this one) 7. summarized time…

I agree with you that the pick up in pace of Github's lacking features has been phenomenal, and I don't really quite understand all the love of GitLab except rooting for the underdog. Github is the clear industry leader, has been since essentially it's creation. It is very fast and feature-filled. It is the central location for the vast majority of code I use and see.

Code reviews currently do not seem to come through on the webhooks at all.

Our in-house automation suites depend on it, so this is a big do not use for us.

I really wish their APIs weren't second class citizens. It takes weeks or months for new features to show up in the API - if at all. I wish there was 1-1 parity with the API.

This has been why we don't use github's issues, wikis, and why we won't use their projects. For example if the overall product has a web site repo, server repo, iOS repo and an Android repo then they need to be used as a coherent whole. An issue might be reported against iOS but the cause is in the server, so the ticket would need to be moved. Rinse and repeat for all the other interactions of piece, and that collabo…

They recently added a per-user pricing model, so maybe they would be open to suggestions.

It would require fairly extensive changes on how they do things under the hood. Google used suffixes - eg you checked out the wiki as github.com/org/projectX.wiki and could create a git repo like github.com/org/projectX.android

Finally, Github getting some Love! Can't wait to switch to Projects and wave Goodbye Jira. I'm a happy dev today.

Indeed, when GitLab announced Kanban I tried to migrate, but it just wasn't as great as GitHub, this is the nail in my foot that keeps me at GitHub.

Github has self hosting too right?

github has self-hosting. It is a little pricey but that is not a product differentiator.

Price isn't a product differentiator?

As well as the sibling comments here, one could also argue Gitlab deserves at least partial credit for motivating this pick up in pace.

I think it was more the open letter to Github, which motivated both Github and GitLab (seen as an opportunity to compete).

GitLab's roadmap yesterday surely didn't motivate or spawn the "New GitHub Universe," and I wouldn't think that Github is very nervous about GitLab currently due to it's massive lead in the market. Maybe this new round of funding made some of the folks at Github look over at Gitlab, but I doubt too much else.

Then be a fan of of GitLab for putting the fear of competition back into GitHub ;)

(It's of course not certain they are the reason they are moving again, but GitHub looked a lot like the market leader that feels like it doesn't have to bother much anymore. And they weren't entirely wrong.)

> Open source*

The Enterprise edition features[1] are closed source, and these aren't strictly "enterprise-y" features like SAML authentication. It includes plenty of "basic" workflow features found on GitHub:

- Rebase merge requests before merge

- Use fast-forward merges when possible

- Create templates for issues and merge requests

- Display merge request status for builds on Jenkins CI
