I moved all my repos to GitLab almost 2 years ago. I just use the online version. One of the main reasons I moved was because of price (free), and the available CI. I use a $5 DO droplet to do all my CI running - which gets me unlimited usage. It's awesome, and has only had to be rebuilt once it 2 years due to unresponsiveness. I've been a big fan of the CI - I use it to build my Docker images, then they get run on k8s. Note - I do not use the AutoDevops feature - so I really don't know how that works for people. I pack the `gitlab-ci.yml` file with my main building steps and all the other tasks I need to run: deploying to k8s, deleting pods if necessary, running db migrations, stuff like that. It works great - everything just works at the push of a button. And now that I've ironed out the `gitlab-ci.yml` file, I don't even have to think about it anymore when it comes to a new project. Honestly - I like GitHub's UI a bit better as it's a little more modern, but with GitLab's free private repos - it just lured me at first and I'm content for now.
