I really like GitLab and are rooting for them, but if my experience the last couple of weeks of exporting/importing projects is any indication, a ton of these imports will fail, or even worse, appear to succeed, but partly fail.
One of the most disheartening things is seeing issues like this: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/43270#note_75044208 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/43270#note_75...
> Pushing this back to 11.1 since 11.0 is full with major release requirements.
If there's one way to lose new users, a good way to go about it is have their imports fail. My case was Gitlab -> Gitlab, hopefully their Github -> Gitlab is more resilient.
- jdowner 8y agoI have always wanted gitlab to become a viable alternative to github, but every time I have used their product I have come away disappointed. Currently trying to import a repo from github to try out their hosting ... 3hrs in and the import is still in progress.
- markdog12 8y agoYes, one of the many bugs there is the progress indicator. Sometimes it really does take a crazy amount of time. Most times, it has failed behind the scenes and you won't know unless you look at the logs. If you're running your own instance, check Admin->Monitoring->Logs->Sidekiq logs
- dblessing 8y agoSorry for the delay. Due to the spike in imports things are a bit backed up. Your import should be in the queue and will run eventually. As someone else mentioned it can take a lot of time to import, in general, depending on the number of issues, PRs, etc. Contact @movingtogitlab if you continue to have trouble.
