I really do not understand why people use GitHub over Gitlab AT ALL.
GitLab consistently brings out AMAZING features at least 1x/month. Their company is ethical (donates regularly to amazing coding groups like BlackGirlsCode, DjangoGirls, PythonLadies, etc.).
Just look for yourself: https://about.gitlab.com/features/
@vickysteeves I had heard of gitlab before but since everyone's so rooted in github, I hadn't bothered. That and I'm a bit confused about which features are in what tiers for what price. Now I see they have free private repos. Hm.
They also allow you to host your own instance and all you pay for is support (if you want it)? Hmmmmmm...
Okay, I can sign in with Github 😬 🤣 Why not check it out.
@trevdev EVERYTHING on GitLab is free for individual users (to a very very reasonable level). Even Git LFS!! And the continuous integration is MILES ahead of every other service (and it's right in the repo!).
Definitely check it out!! I love love love it. I didn't mention in my original toot, but they practice what they preach -- GitLab ITSELF is open source.
The tiers in pricing is just for enterprise, not individuals.
@vickysteeves Well when you put it that way, it sounds much more inviting than their landing page.
This may be shameful for me to admit, but, there's so much going on when you first get to their website that I have literally no idea why I'd want to switch at all. I see a bazillion features that I'm not sure I need, or already get. I didn't even realize they were open source.
I feel like they need marketing help!
@trevdev I AGREE BIG TIME ON THAT ONE.
