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. Since the open letter to Github with the complain…

You need competition for a healthy market.

Here is some more competition in the form of a modular integrated tool 100% libre and open source. With a single instance of Tuleap you can have per project wildly different configurations. One project can have a scrum dashboard with GIT and pull requests, while another can be kanban and SVN with Jenkins CI, and a third could even be setup as Waterfall with CVS or other combinations.

Issue tracking, or anything tracking really, document versioning and templates to get you started really quickly. It’s proven scalable as it’s already used by companies with more than 17 000 users with a single instance of Tuleap. I would love some feedback as we are actively developing it with monthly releases. You can check it out at https://tuleap.org/

> I don't really quite understand all the love of GitLab - Open Source - Free private repos - Free self-host (edit to add "Free") - Everything in one spot (repos, ci, review, coding environment, etc...)

It's only kind of open source, and only partly. They call it open core, so saying open source outright is a bit misleading.

The review feature is very new in GL, and that plus all of the things you are mentioning within "everything in one spot" is available in this update (except maybe the coding env, not sure what that means anyway), if you've read the announcement. Github also has self hosting.

Contact everyone, tell them they have a week, then tick the box. If they didn't do it within the week it's either not important to them or they'll add it right quick after you tick the box.

We have some "shared" users for things like bots, etc.. wonder how to deal with that since we don't want to enable MFA for them. Otherwise I'd be all over this..

For bot accounts, you either generate a personal access token for that account or (probably better) use SSH.

Not so different from human users who have 2FA activated and use the command line to interact with github.

If anyone from Github reads this, a) this looks great, b) add project templates please, so we don't have to recreate the same columns every time. Thanks. <3

Great idea. Thanks!

While I have your attention. A few thoughts on code reviews. It's be nice if 1) approvals somehow show up on the pull requests index page, 2) create a notification within GH, 3) send an email. Right now you have to go to the PR page itself to see approvals.

Edit: I saw an approval email notification on one PR, but not another.

Thanks!

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…

built in CI integration is a huge draw. There are also a nontrivial amount of companies that refuse to let source code "out of the building" so they need to self host, either for real reasons or perceived.

This is a huge issue for us at the Linux Foundation. Infra accounts make enforcing MFA for orgs impossible Even if I could do classes of accounts. Owners and admins, MFA required. Users (bots) that just update CI status, not required.

For CI bots I think in the future you will be able to build an "integration" instead of using a user account. From the blog post

"We’re rethinking our integrations model to provide better ways for tools to extend and integrate with GitHub. We’ve added the ability for an integration to act on its own behalf instead of impersonating a user—making it a first class actor on GitHub without using a paid seat. Admins will have the ability to configure integrations directly on Organizations and control which repositories they allow access to."

Also mentioned in the announcement is that bots and integrations won't need their own user accounts or to impersonate users in the (near?) future.
