Thanks for your feedback. 1. I agree that these browser functions are broken. I think the speedup is worth it but that is personal. BTW Turbolinks are a default feature of modern rails apps, doesn't mean they are right but they are common. 3. We don't plan to do this either as far as I'm aware. 5. Icons in SVG would be nicer but that looks like a lot of work.

I see. I have to say: Gitlab's support seems to be top-notch. I'm sorry for being a bit harsh and thanks for the kind response! :)

You're welcome, and no problem about being harsh, feedback shows you care!

That is more or less all that I crave. With two caveats: - updated once per hour or manually Seems as if this would be generally good enough, but some sort of push integration would be awesome - EE only The dealbreaker. I understand. It makes sense to feature-gate stuff. But my entirely personal situation is that the company enforces TFS. I (and quite some coworkers) would prefer GitLabs features. But there's just no…

1. I agree that push integration would be awesome. Consider contributing it. 2. Thanks for understanding. Please consider emailing sales@ company domain to see if there are possibilities. If you are working for a large organization we can maybe do an extended trial. Please reference this comment in your email.

On the off-chance that you stumble upon this again:

How would one contribute something to a feature that is EE only? Is that a scenario that you had in the past? How does that work?

The repository of EE is publicly readable and customers have a license they can use for development for EE.

We've had customers contribute EE-specific features and changes several times in the past. In one case, CERN contributed improvements to certain EE-exclusive authentication options.

The workflow is identical otherwise.

Worked on firefox after allowing gstatic. Email verification was rejected. My mail server didn't like your mail servers TLS settings. I will try again later.

Sorry but we need the Google Captcha to prevent spam. Can you please detail what is wrong with our TLS settings in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/operations/issues/83 ?

GitLab CEO here. Awesome to see this article! Ask me anything.

Thank you for doing an AMA! I know I'm late to the party, but I have an experience-report/feature-request/question:

I tried to use GitLab in a classroom setting, and it went okay. One of the reasons we decided against using it the next year was the apparent lack of an archival backup feature (c.f. my Stack Exchange [question](http://serverfault.com/q/627618/172148) on the matter.)

We'd like to start completely fresh every year, so that former course assistants and students don't have access, but we'd also like to keep around the old data (for various reasons). Given that GitLab can only restore a backup to the same version that generated it, the only option this left us with was to archive the whole VM, which just feels sloppy.

I understand that this feature is not a priority and is a relatively large technical undertaking, so I'm not holding my breath on it getting implemented; even so, I thought that sharing my experience would be valuable.

Once again, thank you for engaging with the community and for such a great product.

Great job on GitLab, I really like it and started migrating my projects from GitHub. One thing: I never managed to make GitLab pages work. It may just be me, but I find the existing documentation very confusing, unclear what should be the name of the repo to host the static website, which conventions are used etc. I would appreciate a better tutorial.

Previously we had problems with usernames/groups that had upper case letters. The recent improvements (8.5) fixes all these problems. Please try it now :)

Thanks for building Gitlab! I'm from Germany and worked at Fraunhofer where Gitlab was used extensively for in-house dev. The first thing I did after joining a small startup was to install gitlab using docker - it is literally faster than setting up a new github account. I also use gitlab's nginx configuration combined with cipherli.st ciphers as a template because it uses best practices. Only one question: We want t…

It is tricky to restore a backup on a newer version.

I think archiving the whole VM makes sense.

Another solution would be to start with a fresh namespace/group each year instead of a fresh server.
