It is not in the blog post probably because it is still in Alpha, but Gitlab now has a Dark Theme Settings -> Preferences: there is a new theme called "Dark Mode (Alpha). Indeed still in Alpha, but I love they are working on this!

Welp, this is confirmation that I haven't been keeping up on everything going on; when I learn about my most desired feature on my company's software from a Hacker News post :S

I somehow had a feeling Gitlab would be bought this year, but the list dramatically falls apart upon closer inspection: - Google: will never work, completely different mindset and engineering culture. Gitlab feels way too unrefined (in a good sense). - AWS: Gitlab is already too different from their tech, and will never be that tightly coupled with the rest of AWS. - IBM: :') they wish - MS: already has GitHub Any ot…

Don't they already have Bitbucket?

Being all-remote makes it harder to get acquired. Even if the acquirer is forward thinking, there are many complications to be addressed (compliance with existing hr/payroll/etc).

Last I've checked Gitlab was en route to IPO which makes sense given their unique structure.

With every release I wonder why our team is even paying for Gitlab Bronze. It seems to offer no value at all, might as well go for the free tier and save a thousand dollars a year.

Just a quick search of GitLab issues for "to Starter" and I came across the following:

In general our "Why Starter" page has some great rationale for why we encourage small teams to utilize GitLab Starter/Bronze. https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/starter/

Yay! Tbh I like what it looks like with Dark Reader better: the background is still to bright to my eyes. Any word on when the dark mode will be ready for HN? I saw there was a thread a month or two ago about this.

It's great and impressive how quick Gitlab moves in adding new features. But if I have a Graphic Design repo it emphasises Kubernetes, Packages and Security features that have zero relevance. And there is no way to disable them. And that on every single repo it places these Add License/Contributors etc buttons front and centre even though for 99% of internal projects they serve no purpose. Every release Gitlab seriou…

Not for everything you can't.

I am using Gitlab Next and Kubernetes, Security & Compliance, Operations, Analytics, Members are not removable options.

I love GitLab Better UI than GitHub and was first to provide free private repos

Bitbucket provided free private repos before Gitlab existed

If only Bitbucket wasn't a typical Atlassian disaster it might be more popular. I've never used an Atlassian product that wasn't one of the slowest websites I've ever seen with an over-complicated UX that can only be described as sadistic (have you seen the multiple settings pages?).

Gitlab and GitHub both blow Bitbucket out of the water, it's not even a competition.

I actually have no idea, but isn't "open core" a turn-off to would-be acquirers as well, since the core can fork out from under them if they try to work too hard against the wishes of the community? Maybe there have been open core acquisitions. I don't follow startup news that closely.
