Disclosure: GitLab Frontend Engineering Intern Some benefits for GitLab.com, in my opinion: GitLab.com has free public and private repos, only limit is the repo size (max 10GB, for comparison the Linux repo is ~1.5GB). Also includes completely free CI :) Plus everything is out in the open, and CE is entirely open source! Regarding performance, we've gotten that feedback from a lot of users, and we're working very hard on improving it[1][2][3]. I've personally been working a lot on decreasing the page size, chopping off a ton of extra unnecessary assets to make things download and parse faster. Would be happy to answer any other questions you have! Hopefully this doesn't sound like too much of a sales pitch ^_^ [1]: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/19273#note_12954570 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/19273#note_12...

Just a note, Github now has free private repos as well.

  Just checked the http://github.com/pricing http://github.com/pricing page in disbelief. No, Github doesn't have free private repos. One has to either be a student (and use Github private repos only for education purposes) or pay a minimum of $7/mo to have even a single private repo. When paying $7/mo., of course, one could have as many private repos as one wants, but $7/mo. isn't free.

  If by "free" you mean "included in the paid plan," then yes.

  This is the closest thing I've seen to pulling information from one's ass.

      At the top, maybe only visible when you are logged in as a security precaution.
