GitLab's UI is pretty terrible, even compared to the not-so-great-either BitBucket UI. GitLab's UI/UX is regressive to the point that when you visit a repo, you have to click another link just to see the damn sourcecode. It's as though they ignored every advance in source-code UX post-Sourceforge. The stacked global and per-repo sidebars are confusing in a way that baffled me for several minutes, as well. They need a…

IDK, you have the option of whether to show files vs readme on landing but I actually actually prefer landing on readme first as it gives me an idea of what it is I'm looking at before deciding to dig into the code or not. The main issue with GitLab right now IMO is that it's so fucking slow at times -- ike seconds per page slow...

Sorry that GitLab.com is slow. We're working on it in the appropriately numbered issue https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/operations/issues/42

We have about 100 private repos at the moment, including internal tools, branding related components, infrastructure code and pre-release stuff that we're not developing in the open. We may just move those to AWS code commit, gitlab or gogs and switch back to a free org.

You're very welcome to switch to GitLab.com, we are free forever https://about.gitlab.com/gitlab-com/#why-gitlab-com-will-be-... and it can import directly from GitHub.

The gitlab import is really SLOW and there is no clear indication of the progress. Try to import https://github.com/torvalds/linux.git, it takes forever.
