Gitlab makes CI easy
- hardwaresofton 9y agoGitlab is so featureful it's insane to me that it doesn't get more press, so I figured I'd create some. I don't work for Gitlab or anything but I certainly love the tool they work on, and the attitudes they take towards lots of things. Here's a quick list of features that make me think you should be using Gitlab at your org: 1. Fully self-hostable, actually F/OSS 2. Gitlab registry included for free 3. Private repos free 4. CI runners usable for free, integrated easily into your project 5. Auto deploy (https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/topics/autodevops/index.html https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/topics/autodevops/index.html), where they're moving in the future is awesome as well, the whole of Auto DevOps (https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/topics/autodevops/index.html https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/topics/autodevops/index.html) 6. Issue boards (Gitlab had this first) 7. Wiki included 8. Repo metrics 9. Cycle Analytics (https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/user/project/cycle_analytics.html https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/user/project/cycle_analytics.html) Some of these things might also be in Github now, but I don't think they all are just yet. Here are the most common complaints about Gitlab: 1. Slowness (this is normally because people use Gitlab.com and judge based on that. It's absolutely a fact that Gitlab.com is not as fast as Github.com) 2. Badly designed UI/navigation (they've just gone through a push to fix these things, and I love the new interface) 3. Doing too much (can't argue with this of course, but I don't particularly care that something does a lot of things until it starts doing things I care about really badly)
- sytse 9y agoThanks for the love! We're working on making GitLab.com faster and more available, it is already a lot faster than a year ago, but still lots of work to do.
