I'd usually refrain from "+1" style comments, but you guys rock! Its great to finally see some improvements in the interface, but its still rather far from being as user-friendly as GitHub. I've got some very specific aspects in mind. Are contributions to Gitlab's interface accepted?

We'd strongly recommend that you open an issue to discuss it first, but yeah, of course they are! :)

Can you share what these items are? I have used GitLab quite a bit and GitHub just a little, and I so far have enjoyed using GitLab much more. I had a hard time finding my way around on GitHub. The main parts I've used in both are creating Issues and Merge Requests, and in GitLab I've accepted them and managed teams/projects.

  Sure, some things off the top of my head: - On the main project page, the file list/table cells have too much padding. The same project's file list, with 22 files, on GitHub fits on my screen comfortably. On Gitlab, the whole table sits at 928px in height. Reducing the top/bottom padding in cells to 5px, without a loss in usability, yields a much nicer 708px height - The two panels above the file list (the branch, and the latest commit) could be streamlined and merged - Frankly, the whole area with the project name and the buttons below is incredibly and unnecessarily convoluted. Some important links are grayed, some others are not relevant for every project (e.g. I don't need a contribution guide for my private project) - A lot of links are indistinguishable from text

    Hi chmin, thanks a lot for your suggestion. We will look into it. Please feel free to open an issue regarding that if you want. We are also considering about the line length in a file so that people find it more friendly to read. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/13680 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/13680. Thanks again for your suggestion :-)
