Question to current Gitlab users: Why do you use Gitlab instead of Github? What are the killer features that make it worth switching to?
Kudos to the team. While my current workspace is tied to GitHub, I will most certainly switch to Gitlab given the option to. Why? Only one reason: GitHub support is fucking horrible. It’s insanely bad, even for paying enterprise customers. Open a support ticket, you will get some superficial pointers to documentation, and then be completely ignored. Their Product team is the absolute worst too. There are so many thin…
> instead of stealing TravisCIs ideas (cough GitHub Actions Cough) Not sure how you come to that conclusion. Even _if_ that were true, that would probably be a good thing now that TravisCI is on life support.
We’ve been using Gitlab for 4 years now. What got us initially was the free private repos before github had that. We are now a paying customer. Their integrated CICD is amazing. It works perfectly for all our needs and integrates really easily with AWS and GCP. Also their customer service is really damn good. If I ever have an issue, it’s dealt with so fast and with so much detail. Honestly one of the best customer s…
My company switched to BitBucket in order to pinch pennies, and now I weep when I have to get Jenkins and BitBucket to play nice with each other or to do something. GitLab CI just works, is easily horizontally scalable without paying exorbitant prices for more "agents", etc... I miss GitLab...
sticking with v7.10.5 for now but i will probably switch to gogs or something similar soon.
A cool part from the article >> part of a shadow program in which employees spend two weeks sitting in on their CEO’s meetings, feedback sessions and media or analyst calls Does anyone know of companies that do this "internship" / shadowing / mentoring built into the company?
Thanks for highlighting this! I was lucky enough to get to be the shadow this week, and it's been an incredible experience. The program is outlined in our handbook if you want to find out more info: https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/ceo/shadow/
You are eligible to apply for the program if you have accepted an offer at GitLab as a:
Director or up, Distinguished engineer or up, or Senior product manager or up. Manager or Staff engineer, if there is 1 consideration. Individual Contributor, if there are 2 considerations.
I was thinking more like olden times where you work your way up from the delivery boy spot or something and this was a chance to do it. Maybe I misunderstood?

Forgive my ignorance, but how is TravisCI on lifesupport? Is this because Idera aquired them?

Microsoft bought Github for $7.5B so it gives them a great comparable.
Wouldn't that put them at 40% of github's value. Giving that github's brand is more valuable this is pie-in-the-sky vc math. Ready to be ipoed and written down to a 1/10 of the value in 2 years.

Reasons for initially switching to Gitlab: - Pricing structure made much more sense than Github's at the time. I would've been willing to pay for Github, but their pricing for private repos (now unlimited on the free plan) scaled steeply for any reasonable number. - In addition to private repos, their free plan still offers many features that Github's free plan lacks, and their paid plans have many more features agai…
kind of wish they had kept it a little more lightweight. been running v7.10.5 as a personal repo on a small-ish sized vps. went to upgrade/migrate to a newer version the other day and the recent versions crash out on the same host configuration. i eventually got it up and running but it was sluggish and nearly unusable. sticking with v7.10.5 for now but i will probably switch to gogs or something similar soon.

We use GitLab because you can self-host it. GitHub is not an option for us, because we must maintain control of our data and source code. So GitHub was never really an option. But we'd likely be using GitLab even if we didn't have this limitation. There's a bunch of features that make GitLab better for our specific team / situation. From my personal experience, GitLab CI is better than CI options available on GitHub.…
