This is amazing. Go is a great CI/CD server and I'm happy that it is now open source. Jenkins is a good CI ecosystem that lacks a good UI and a good API. Wonder how Go stacks up on the API and Plugins front with Jenkins.

This should help: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7647742. Plugins & API are not the strongest points of Go. But thats in our immediate roadmap: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/go-cd/roadmap/go-.... So it should improve soon!

Where are the screenshots? I don't want to install this to get a first view of how it looks and works.

If you want to try it out painlessly, I've written a post [0] and implemented Vagrant playground where you can experiment with go. [1]

CruiseControl is also from ThoughtWorks, right? I would be curious why one company produces two tools for the same jobs. What do they do differently?

The pipeline features of gocd seems very nice. However, last time I looked at gocd it did not support feature branches. As far as I could tell, it was not due to technical reasons but rather due to the whole feature branch vs continuous integration philosophy differences.

Any idea whether feature branch support will be added in the future?

Go was their (our) commercial product which initially started from CruiseControl as the base. Go is a whole different beast and has gained a lot of features over the years. Now, it has been open sourced as well.
