It doesn't look good, it's great. I mean it. They give Gitlab CE for free on their website, see what it can do: https://about.gitlab.com/features/#enterprise https://about.gitlab.com/features/#enterprise Only gitlab.com does more than github + integration service. Recently GL CEO wrote here on HN that if you host gitlab yourself for your opensource project you could get lifetime CE version by writing to them. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10924406 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10924406

  My experience on the two boxes I have installed GitLab CE on using the .deb packages was that it hosed apt in both cases. So, YMMV

    Please email me or support@gitlab.com with this problem. I've never heard this before and we take this very seriously. Our Omnibus packages installs all GitLab dependencies in the /opt directory. If this is not your thing it might be good to know that there are now official native Debian packages for GitLab 8.4 (still working on Jesse backport).

  Our Community Edition (CE) is MIT licensed and will always be free for everyone, without asking. We discussed giving GitLab Enterprise Edition (EE) licenses to open source projects. But it turned out that it is better to make the features that are essential open source completely https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10926400 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10926400 So we did that https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10931884 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10931884 and will keep doing that.

Bitbucket is also quite affordable if you're willing to host on your own: https://www.atlassian.com/software/bitbucket/pricing?tab=host-in-the-cloud https://www.atlassian.com/software/bitbucket/pricing?tab=hos...

    Their pricing is different to Github. GH pricing increases with the number of private repositories needed, whereas BB prices based on team members, with unlimited private repositories. For a small team like ours, with lots of small repositories, it's a no brainer.

      Same with us, BitBucket has been absolutely great, I actually like their UI better (just a taste thing).

        I find Bitbucket a lot easier to navigate as well. Some stuff in github is really unintuitive until you have used it a few times.

        It's the little things that make the difference for me - like being able to restrict pushing to certain branches to either specific people or specific groups, which has saved a lot of accidents. When you're developing an open source application, though, you need the community of Github. I'm hoping that changes in the future. Not that Github goes away, just that alternatives are equally as viable to build a community around.
