In the same way the Nintendo Switch and Xbox Series X aren't competitors.
Many hard core gamers will have both. My Switch is for Smash Bros and the Advance Wars reboot. Advance Wars was one of my favorite games as a kid, and I'll pay 300$ for a machine just to play it.
The Series X also plays games, but it's a completely different experience. No one expects Switch quirkiness on an Xbox, and no one expects 4K gaming on a Switch.
GitHub is for your public portfolio. Gitlab is for getting stuff done once your GitHub portfolio lands you a decent job.
GitHub is synonymous with programmer portfolio, but it's CI/CD system is rather primitive.
- halfmatthalfcat 5y agoActions are close If not better than Gitlab’s CI. I moved from Gitlab to GitHub Actions because they offer OSX runners too, game changer.
- 41209 5y agoAre you using enterprise Gitlab? I don't think Gitlab is a serious player outside of enterprise clients. But that's where the money is.
- bastardoperator 5y agoI don't think it's a serious player at enterprises either. MSFT is giving away GitHub Enterprise to sell Azure and Visual Studio licenses coupled with other perks. GitLab can't compete on that level and they lose to GitHub/MSFT on a fairly regular basis.
- skeeter2020 5y agoThis is also where MS pushes Azure DevOps because it is inline with their subscription approach for Enterprise Office, Project Management and DevOps. It is really easy for a company that already pays for Office 365 to add on Azure DevOps. It's a lot less easy for the teams to adopt it, but we all know you sell to the front office, not the back.
- 41209 5y agoAzure assumes you aren't already using AWS. You can only sell so much to the front office, if it's significantly harder to get things working on Azure, new features are going to ship later if they do at all.
- maineldc 5y agoI think the grandparent is referring to Azure DevOps which is a Git / Issues product like Github and Gitlab, not Azure Cloud. Azure DevOps is "fine" though I feel like MS is pushing Github and will deprecate DevOps at some point in the coming years.
- jjeaff 5y agoSeems pretty serious to me. I was running my entire CI/CD process with gitlab.com and deploying to k8s clusters before GitHub Actions were even launched.

- halfmatthalfcat 5y agoYes, if you have OSX boxes available or leverage things like MacStadium but Github allows you to leverage their MacMini farm.
