I don't know of anyone who uses Gitlab. We use Github at work, and I know several people who use Github at work. In terms of features, I can't think of anything that Github doesn't support. If something is missing, you can always find tools/services that integrate with Github. That said, I am quite surprized that Gitlab is growing so fast. I would be curious to know what is the source of most of their revenue. Are they targeting a specific cohort of users, which Github is not able to?

That's the problem with these monocultures. People just assume that "well, everyone uses it, so it must be the best/have all the features". As for what Gitlab has that Gitlab doesn't: * Built-in CI/CD that's actually pretty decent (easy to configure, you can restart subtasks, you can use your own runners) * An issue tracker that supports estimates & time tracking. There are "solutions" for github that work with external services, but they cost money, and have strange workflows. * The ability to self-host without huge piles of money. * A lot of features that I'm not currently interested in, but others would be, like k8s and serverless support.

  One feature that probably doesn't get enough praise is the groups. You can create groups, and nested sub groups within. This helps us a lot to separate projects into smaller groups. Sub groups inherit access and keys from their parent and ancestors.
