so nice this gitlab project is, so sad it is that it'll get hit by the commercial hammer, since the dev is spending his full time on it.

Re: GitLab v4.1 released
#22Anyone know whether the public mode is just a list of URLs that you can clone from, or does it allow public users to browse the full gitlab UI? Thanks!
It only gives a list of URLs you can clone from :)
Requests for web-browsable public view:

Project lead sees it as outside of scope, possibly to not get into trouble with Github?
Re: GitLab v4.1 released
#23I run GitLab on my development VPS and use it for all my projects (and everything to do with them, including client interaction via the wall and issues). It's quite brilliant. I nearly decided to hack in a Public Mode myself last year, I'm glad it's finally implemented! This has prompted me into getting back to work on my KanBan SPA, that hooks into GitLabs issues api. I do wish they gave the api a bit more love in t…
I'd love to hear more about the 'Dropbox clone' you're using here. The idea of keeping a VPS around as my own private cloud is something I've been thinking about for a while; I'm very interested to learn from someone who's already done it.

> My $20/m VPS gives me self-hosted Github, Dropbox, and Gmail/Gcal/Contacts "clones". Not bad!
GitLab replaces GitHub, but ...
what gives you the dropbox functionality? (alternatives I'm familiar with are sparkeleshare and seafile, but neither works as well as dropbox)
what gives you the gmail/gcal/contacts functionality? specifically, do you have good iphone sync?

#25Earlier quoted context omitted.
I don't think they are actually driving any business away from github or I'd be more angry. This seems to fit a niche for people that would like to use github but legally can't put their code online (even in a private repository). It's github for intranets. Agree though, github deserves all the karma we can throw at it.
GitHub does cater to that niche: https://enterprise.github.com/ However, it starts at $5000 per year and the main group amongst people I've heard using GitLab has been companies not willing to pay that $5000 (but who otherwise would probably go with GitHub - that is, they're 'satisficing' rather than choosing GitLab as such).
I know of some fairly sizeable clients who are looking at gitlab because they need a github they can modify - github enterprise doesn't include source code does it?

Atlassian offer Stash, an enterprise Git product: https://www.atlassian.com/software/stash/overview
It's priced more competitively than Github and you get access to the source code.
Re: GitLab v4.1 released
#27While I love that this is being built, am I the only one that feels a bit dirty about the blatant UI ripoff they are doing of GitHub. GitHub is a company that in my opinion can't get enough hacker karma, they have done a brilliant job of innovating time and time again and delivering a brilliant product that makes all our lives better. I can't even bring myself to use open source projects on Google Code, it just isn't…
Github, as good as they are, aren't the only company doing what they do. Gitorious, Tigris, Bitbucket and Sourceforge (et al.) have all been around a long time. Suggesting Github have had their features "ripped off" is harsh, and more than a bit rude to the other developers.

Could possibly be Sparkleshare[1] which uses Git as the underlying sync technology, especially if he has already got git set up.

Why would they get into trouble with Github?

We've tried switching from GH Enterprise to Stash (because of the $5000 thing, which pisses me off and makes me feel like I'm being ripped off at the same time!), but it's really "not there yet".
The file browser sucks, the repo management doesn't make sense (repos live in projects, instead of organization/project or person/project), you can't run git via ssh on port 22, no activity stream (so you need to combine it with Fisheye), etc.
The price of Stash is really the price of Stash + Fisheye. At that point you're only looking at $2500, but still. Unfortunately for us, GitHub issue tracking and wiki suck compared to Jira/Confluence. So we run GH Enterprise + JIRA + Confluence. :)
