Fascinating. I'd understand why GitLab and Gogs might not be competing with each other, but why invest in Gogs? How does that benefit GitLabs the company?

- stp-ip 10y agoKeep your friends close but your enemies closer. Joking aside. Most likely to get a foot in the door on competition and on git related features written in Go, which might supplement or replace parts of the infrastructure within Gitlab. They already use Go for the CI runner part and as a smart, Gitlab aware proxy.
- sytse 10y agoWe want to prevent a not invented here mindset. And we'll work on import export functionality. By the way, GitLab already uses GitLab Workhorse written in Go to do much of the heavy lifting. I would say it is more then a proxy. This project is unrelated to Gogs.
