Hi, GitLab CEO here. Installing GitLab should take only 2 minutes with the Omnibus packages available on https://about.gitlab.com/downloads/ Upgrading GitLab is as simple as: sudo gitlab-ctl stop unicorn sudo gitlab-ctl stop sidekiq sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:backup:create sudo dpkg -i gitlab_x.x.x-omnibus.xxx.deb sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure And we're working very hard to make sure this is a flawless, uneventful & borin…

For a private repo with just yourself, why not use BitBucket? You don't need any of the social features of Github in that case.

Simply personal preference. I'd like to use the same supporting tools, UI, zero context switching between products, etc. Funny enough, I use some of the social features (issues/milestones/wiki) for project management, even for my own projects.

Bitbucket provides those. I use it professionally because I like all my stuff in one place and that's where I keep my free private repos.

Can anyone comment on the T&C on ownership of repo content on these Git hosts? I could not locate specific mention of that on Gitlab.

Gitlab's terms and conditions for their hosted service are here; they don't really address ownership: https://about.gitlab.com/terms/

Gogs isn't a hosted service; you're installing it on servers you control, so you retain ownership of your content. (I suppose there would be questions about ownership if you uploaded content to their demo instance at try.gogs.io, but you probably shouldn't upload things you care about to a demo server like that.)

I really wish GitHub only counted private repos that have more than one collaborator. If you are like me and have dozens and dozens of smaller repos that only you yourself work on, it makes the GitHub model a non-starter (and I'd love to be GitHub only, rather hosting my own server or using bitbucket).

How would Github differentiate between you and another collaborator that uses your logon details?

How does BitBucket? They don't, and that's okay, there will always be those who push the boundaries of the rules, but most people will be honest.

It has more paragraphs than meets the eye, but for some reason the middle chunk of the article stops double-spacing and starts doing (very small!) indents for paragraphs instead. Some sort of formatting issue.

Some really nasty markup. Whatever CMS that's generated by, it's using BRs to simulate paragraphs and isn't doing a very good job of it.

Its Google's Blogger

Yeah, thanks for the hard work of David Renshaw from SandStorm for making that work.

Just FYI you're now every grandchild comment of this grandparent. Could you maybe stop shouting GITLAB! all over this thread that's not about Gitlab?

Whoa, easy with the thread policing. He's specifically replying to people asking him questions, not randomly shouting.

Is it just me, or does it bother anyone that the design seems SO ripped from Github? Github's UI has a lot to be said for it and perhaps emulation is more of a compliment here, but...even the icon font glyphs...

Look-and-feel is famously not copyrightable in the US, and there's a familiar interface brings a lot of benefit to the user. So, no, it does not bother me. :-)

Totally valid -- I guess I just like to see projects that try something new out, develop their own design, or at least put their own spin on something. Just a personal preference, really.

Thanks for the link. In the lines before the quote I said "This PoC still leaves a lot of work. Right now the controller writes files, this should be done though gitlab-shell." We where unlikely to merge it because the code quality was low, if someone makes a good implementation we're more open to merging it. BTW The pull request in question uses the git hooks to do code linting. I think it is a better user experienc…

> We where unlikely to merge it because the code quality was low Oh, so it's not because "there already is a nice implementation in EE." Ok. It's also in disagreement with what you sad on the EE announcement: "If the community develops code for a feature that is already in EE we will certainly consider merging it or open sourcing the EE feature. This depends on several factors including the seriousness of the merge r…

>Oh, so it's not because "there already is a nice implementation in EE." Ok

That they said "there already is a nice implementation in EE" doesn't automatically mean they also intended it to remain EE-specific forever.

It could be also be read as "we won't merge this in the free edition, as we already have a nice implementation in EE we might merge later".

I put GitLab on a personal server a week or two ago for some stuff, and I'm sorry to say it but the overwhelming takeaway from that experience was watching it hog memory and spawn what felt like a million processes which somehow lingered for days after uninstallation until I noticed them. This thing runs one process, idles at 0.0% CPU, and is blazing fast in <450MB memory - when all you want is a nice git GUI for a small group it seems pretty perfect.
