#2At what point does it become a concern when you're just ripping off the UI of a competing product?
Re: Gogs, an alternative to Gitlab
#3We run Gitlab at work.
It's a bit slower than Stash, but other than that I really love it. Lots of features, and they are easy to use. Upgrading to the newest version has always been simple.
Only gotcha we have had is the timeout of the workers, which meant that some large repositories would be impossible to clone. After adjusting the timeout everything was fine. Although a bit more caching would be in order to speed up clones.

#4There's also Gitbucket which has as similar advantage: https://github.com/takezoe/gitbucket

#5I've used gogs because of it being mentioned here before however I'd love to see an analysis of the stability of these various git front ends.

#6Gogs is great for one-person or small team setups. I switched to it from gitbucket, which is also great and I do recommend it. It was the memory footprint (Go binary vs JVM) that made the choice easy for me.
The functionality I miss the most is search. I think it may be easy to implement some basic form of search using git grep.

Isn't GitLab doing the same thing?

#8What experiences do people have with http://phabricator.org/ ? It's not a GitHub clone but it does seem very complete, possibly replacing Jira and Stash if you're into the Atlassian ecosystem.

"a bit slower"? My experience with Gitlab was terrible. It's unbearably slow especially when I try to create a relatively large pull request for review. The pull request comparison tool is not very smart either. Often times I have a big chunk of false change detection.
Maybe I was doing it wrong, but I just don't see any advantage of it over the like of Github and Bitbucket.

#10I use Gogs on my Synology NAS for personal use and I love it. Mostly because it's so easy to setup and deploy - cross-compiling the binary for ARM was simple, after that it was just a matter of SCPing it to the NAS itself.
It's not as feature rich as other options, but it does it's job well.
