Please look at: https://kallitgea-scm.org http://fossil-scm.org Both eat their own dog food.
https://code.rhodecode.com also, hosting RhodeCode sources.
Kallithea is a fork of RhodeCode too:
Re: GitHub Alternatives
#183In the big wave of alternatives, we also should mention Tuleap [1] that is now open to all opensource projects. Can also be self-hosted of course !

But there's no real stickiness there. Developers are not mainstream users who want a dumb UX like Facebook, they're perfectly capable of creating an account (if they don't already have one) and interacting with a project wherever it is. Most discussions are limited in scope to a project anyway so it's not like you need the whole site. What difference does it make to go visit issues on GitLab vs Github?
There is stickiness. Low entry burden for contributer is the key point why huge projects use GitHub instead of other platforms. And me registering at dozen of platforms, reading the legal stuff, learning the platform,... And when I finally successful submit a one line patch (how: no idea) the maintainer has a fair 50% chance of dropping it. That is not what I will do. And I will not be alone :).
What? You can do the exact same thing in GitLab or Bitbucket in the same exact few clicks. Fork, edit, submit PR, done. Have you used these other platforms?

Yes I have. But like always with social networks it's about the critical mass (GitHub dwarves everything else) and public acceptance (like a company accepting this strange "Bitbucket"... :)).

Re: GitHub Alternatives
#188Honest question: Besides more traction among the open source community, where do you feel GitHub is stronger than GitLab? I’m not affiliated with GitLab, however a little biased because we’re using GitLab instead of GitHub at our company. Feature-wise, It seems to me that GitLab is running circles around GitHub. Curious about other opinions.
GitLab's UI is in every way a travesty compared to GitHub's. GitLab feels like using GitHub's UI from about 3 years ago. Here's a list of things missing, just to name a few: > consolidated reviews > multiple assigned people > reasonable diffs when merging complicated changes, ability to review code since it was last reviewed > easy to create merge requests, and plenty of context sensitive stuff > can generate compari…
Hi richardwhiuk, GitLab team member here.
We appreciate open feedback, thank you for these UI details. We are very aware of the lack of polishing of our current project home page and missed opportunities. There is a specific issue on that we are working on for a July release right now, see https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/44704. This is a first step of the larger effort we are tackling to improve the overall experience via https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/62. Please feel free to check these out and comment in the issue.
Regarding our navigation, we feel confident that the experience has been greatly improved with the new 10.0 UI. See https://about.gitlab.com/2017/09/13/unveiling-gitlabs-new-na... for some context. I’d like to encourage you to get involved and let us know what you think! You can always create an issue to contribute improving the GitLab experience.

Lets rephrase that shall we "Why would they acquire Nokia just to turn on it and run it into the ground?" It doesn't need malice but Microsoft have a talent for this kind of thing
The mobile hardware division of Nokia had been heading this way for a long time - I have no idea why they went through with that. Is it fair to say all Microsoft's attempts at hardware (except XBOX) have failed?
The other example would be the Kin phone. A feature complete working phone that Microsoft decided needed to be rewritten from scratch to use the Windows Mobile / Phone stack
It took 18 months and nearly $1B to rewrite only to find the market had moved on. Canned and written off
I can imagine a situation where Microsoft thinks that GitHub would benefit from being re-implemented using Microsoft tech. Rewriting in APS.net, using Microsoft Login, integration with Office 365. The whole enchilada :)
It would take years, cost billions and, at best, deliver exactly the same experience as GitHub today
Worse case would be that GitHub stagnates during the rewrite as the alternatives spend their time and money developing new features

Why the sarcasm? Rails is a pig.
I wonder if there's a chance GitLab will be rewritten in a more efficient language.
GitLab VPE here. We are starting to re-write performance intensive part of our application in Golang. E.g. our Gitaly project: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitaly
