it's ... not a good day to be GitLab I guess? 🤔
it's ... not a good day to be GitLab I guess? 🤔
@codinghorror It is a great day for developers. It is also a great time for people to compare GitHub and GitLab - we'll have a blog post out soon on about.gitlab.com/blog/2020-04-1… #GitChallenge
@codinghorror I'm just waiting for Github to rebrand as Azure DevOps.
@codinghorror More and more they are complementary products and not direct competitors. Most large OSS projects are on a Gitlab instance by now (Freedesktop, KDE, Gnome, Drupal, Debian just to name a few), in general, on prem GitLab vs GitHub Enterprise is vastly better.
@codinghorror GitHub still works with ICE so I wouldn't be so sure.
@codinghorror I like how Gitlab lets you namespace projects. Good for the thousands of microservices I’m using for my todo app
@codinghorror I thought the same but the I tried GitHub actions and they aren’t there yet. And I sure value the power of an excellent CI.
@codinghorror Gitlab is /still/ less expensive, with a nice UX, lots of features, decent team, culture of transparency, European based and FLOSS. Why would I switch to Github?
@codinghorror Looks like some people like Github and some people like Gitlab.
@codinghorror Github has F grade in GNU Ethical Repository Criteria Evaluations. Gitlab has C grade. So Gitlab is still much better for free software. gnu.org/software/repo-…
@codinghorror I love both these products have some repos across both of them. For #k8s stuff I prefer gitlab. It also has some nifty live code edit features. But for things like PRs, actions, etc github is pretty great too
@codinghorror Funny how I would choose GitLab any time over GitHub while others don’t even want to think about. And that is OK!
@codinghorror I personally won't be moving to GitHub yet as I get GitLab Pages for my private repositories for free. On GitHub, my repositories have to be public to enable pages.
@codinghorror I guess that’s why Gitlab has been working on Gitlab CI for the past couple of years.
@codinghorror Probably not, but could be good for competition and innovation.
@codinghorror presumably bitbucket get by fine with their atlassian tie-ins?
