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

Feature request - allow performance tracking over time allowing these kind of views to be available in gitlab - https://arewefastyet.com/ .

One possible workflow -

1. User defines perf metrics in some metadata file in repo.

2. User checks in data for metrics with every commit.

3. Gitlab shows a view of the metrics changing over time.

You're always here answering things related to Gitlab. How do you do get notified of topics?

Multiple people mentioned me in our chat channel. But we also have a monitor set up that tracks all mentions of GitLab on the internet. We're working on responding to all people that can use some help with GitLab in https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/support/

Competition is good! Forget all the hate going on against Github right now. We should be support things like GitLab and Bitbucket more in order to get the competition going strong. I'd like to see even more competition in this area.

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 to use Gitlab CI for Continuous Deployment, but I can't find any meaningful resources to build a django project and deploy it e.g. on another server or docker instance. Do you have any information about this?

"Choose GitLab for your next open source project" That's a fucking stupid headline. Here's my answer: No. Here's why: I am the creator of LinuxOnTheWeb. It's an entire OS in a browser, not some stupid early 2000's-esque HTML4 bullshit. Here's another reason: I'm the fucking peace guy. And yet another: I'm way fucking cooler that some "look at me in Silicon Valley I'm a CEO" douchebag. And finally: You don't like me,…

I don't get it, is this some kind of meme that I'm missing? What makes gitlab unsuitable for linuxontheweb? What makes an 'os-on-the-web' different from 'html4 bullshit' to a version control tool ? It's just code either way.

He appears to be mentally ill. Look up his profile on reddit for some crazy stuff.

I've been using Bitbucket for 3 years now and i absolutely love the fact that you can create private repos and have many tools available for free, highly recommended.

We totally want to do this with GitLab CI. Right now you can have GitLab CI measure your code coverage, see https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ci/commit/96b17c1735b65... for an example. We can just add a graph and allow people to add more metrics https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/13409

Obviously you should ensure that your performance tests are run on the same type of machine every time. But you can do this by labeling runners.

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.

Why is gitlab.com so slow?

Because it quickly grew in 2015 https://about.gitlab.com/2016/02/11/gitlab-retrospective/

We're working on making it faster in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/operations/issues/42
