I hate to keep beating the dead horse-but you can do the same thing via MS’s Visual Studio Devops aka Visual Studio Online with a local build/deployment agent.

And you can do the same thing with personal licenses of your chosen ci server and you can throw in a personal deployment server to boot (i like octopus). I actually just use Appveyor if I can for my personal stuff.

And then I have to manage two more servers....

For those of you using GitLab, BitBucket, or , does this make you consider switching back at all? If so, why? It may be myopic, but the only major reason I can think of is visibility if you plan on publicizing the repo at some point. But you can achieve this by using GitHub as a mirror for your main repo on another platform (at least for GitLab, I’m not familiar with BitBucket). Edit: Personally, I use GitLab (both .…

GitHub integration in visual studio is quite good, I might switch back from gitlab because of that. I just didn’t think it was worth 8 dollars a month before.

We have established teams for each of our DevOps stages: https://about.gitlab.com/stages-devops-lifecycle/ Package encompasses both the Container Registry, as well as other repository types like Maven, NPM, etc.

Ah. So you mean "packaging-related features", not "packaging related features"?

Yes, I think Josh means that.

Sears seemed to be intentionally run into the ground so that Eddie Lampert could loot the assets: https://prospect.org/article/how-sears-was-gutted-its-own-ce...

Whatever bad things you can say about Ballmer, he wasn't out to gut Microsoft. He simply made decisions that were short-sighted and insular. Well, and the review system (which caused a bunch of good people to leave for Google in Kirkland, and some other places). Once, I was doing an embedded system for a consumer product in the Xbox group. We started out trying to using Windows CE, and after three months of pushing t…

I don't know, the windows UI since Windows 10 is a mess; the Windows client platform doesn't seem to have its best time.

Seems strange to me that they are neglecting the client platform (and developer tools to! used to be very important under Balmer), the lock in effect used to be driving demand towards NT server.

to put it frankly: I don't quite understand the grand strategy of MS.

What feature did you find lacking?

I find the GitLab issue board to have a poor UX. For example, depending on where you click, it will open a small summary to the right or it will open a new page with all the issue information. Also, it is ridiculously expensive to have epics, compared to every other issue tracker I have seen, in GitLab issues.

Hi Eduardo, thanks for writing about your experience with GitLab Issue Boards.

Could you please tell us what could make your experience more convenient? Do you have an open issue regarding your suggestions? If not, it would be great if you could open an issue about it at https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues. We'd like to follow up on it.

It’s really valuable for us when users take the time to submit issues for bugs, changes, or feature proposals. This helps us steer the product in the right direction.

Does this somehow apply to git-lfs, too?

This is quite important for game development, where binary assets grow faster than you can think. Azure DevOps includes unlimited, private lfs-storage for small teams. [1]

I also wonder how microsoft prevents abuse in such an environment, but that's another question...

Is there a reason to use github free over gitlab free for private projects? From what I can tell, gitlab has much better features and more features/limits available for free.

Hey Vinay, there's also a notable difference, at GitLab you don't have a limit to 3 user per private project.

Azure Pipelines free offering is superior to Travis by every imaginable metric - UI latency, build latency, featureset, sane, carefully thought about YAML syntax, etc.

As someone who uses the paid Azure Pipelines agents I can say I really like it generally but their hosted build agent performance is ... adequate ... at best.

I'm a product manager on Azure Pipelines. I'd like to learn more about your pipeline so we can improve the performance of our hosted build agents. It's something we're improving right now. Feel free to email me. jepling at microsoft dot com
