- ajross 15y agoOr really, for cgit/gitweb/gitorious. There's really no lack of acceptable web front ends for git hosting. Github is prettier and better than those solutions, and I use it. But it's really just incrementally better; simple command line access is 80% of what you need. If this is better than what's available, I'm all for it. But I'm not sure I'd call it particularly innovative.
- kstenerud 15y agoThere's just something about an application that not only performs well, but also doesn't look like a Geocities homepage sprinkled with sendmail.cf, that makes me smile.
- suyash 15y agoIt's replacement for the github paid plans that come with private collaborators and private repos.
- eugenjung 15y agoActually, it's not. GitLab is self-hosted; GitHub paid plans are not. The self-hosted version of GitHub costs $5000 per year.
- nupark2 15y agoI'm not sure how that makes it not a replacement. Arguably 'externally hosted' is a single feature (or serious drawback) of github, not the defining attribute of their product. It's also a limitation you can get around by paying them more money, but that doesn't make this position that Gitlab is not competing with github seem any less arbitrary.
