- ridruejo 13y agoIf you want to give it a try in your computer or in the cloud you can use one of the images from bitnami. We already have updated them to gitlab 6.3 http://bitnami.com/stack/gitlab http://bitnami.com/stack/gitlab
- phaer 13y agohttp://www.gitlab.com/cloud/ http://www.gitlab.com/cloud/ offers free, unlimited private (and public) repositories and might also be a good place to try it.
- gourneau 13y agoOne other thing from the GitLab GitHub repo (https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/master/README.md#installation https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/master/README.md#i...) "Digital Ocean 1-Click Application Install Have a new server up in 55 seconds. Digital Ocean uses SSD disks which is great for an IO intensive app as GitLab. Look for GitLab under 'Select Image' => 'Applications' when creating a droplet."
- philip1209 13y agoDigital Ocean also added one-click spin-ups of a gitlab VM recently.
- picomancer 13y agoFor those who aren't familiar, Gitlab is essentially an open-source clone of Github. For those who already use it, this is a good time to upgrade, because multiple security vulnerabilities were recently fixed [1]. (You can upgrade to a patch version within the same major/minor release, e.g. 6.2.3 to 6.2.4, but it's not too much more effort to just upgrade to the latest 6.3 release).

- pgambling 13y agoI'm considering GitLab for use at work. How does it stack up against Atlassian Stash? (https://www.atlassian.com/software/stash/overview https://www.atlassian.com/software/stash/overview)
- kparaju 13y agoI've had to compare the two. At the current state, Stash is better than GitLab in almost all ways. Better UI, more features and other small things that make a big difference (e.g. repo sync). GitLab, on the other hand, has two advantages over Stash. Firstly it's open source (+free). Secondly and most importantly, GitLab is under active development and there is a new release with reasonable amount of content every month. I haven't installed Stash, but for what it's worth GitLab installation and upgrades have been really straightforward.
- modoc 13y agoI was trying out GitLab EE and ran into some install issues on RHEL5 (which were solvable - http://www.digitalsanctuary.com/tech-blog/general/installing-gitlab-on-redhat-enterprise-5-rhel-5.html http://www.digitalsanctuary.com/tech-blog/general/installing... ). However even after a couple days I was unable to get the LDAP integration and LDAP group permissions to work correctly. GitLab support wasn't able to solve it for me, so I tried Stash. 30 minutes later, up and running the way I wanted it.
- sytse 13y agoHi Modoc, GitLab.com co-founder here. I'm sorry to hear you GitLab.com support did not solve your problem to your satisfaction. Supporting our customers is our main priority. Feel free to email me at sytse@gitlab.com if you want to give us feedback about what happend.
- taspeotis 13y agoAt the current state, Stash is better than GitLab Yes. GitLab, on the other hand, has two advantages over Stash ... GitLab is under active development and there is a new release with reasonable amount of content every month. No. Stash 2.9 was just released [1] about seven weeks after Stash 2.8 [2] about seven weeks after Stash 2.7 [3].

- Siecje 13y agoDoes it have public repos?
- _delirium 13y agoThat was just added last month, in 6.2: http://blog.gitlab.org/gitlab-ce-6-dot-2-released/ http://blog.gitlab.org/gitlab-ce-6-dot-2-released/
- Touche 13y ago2 biggest downsides to GitLab: 1) It's a resource hog. Big time. 2) It's incredibly hard to set up. The installation instructions and the development instructions are essentially the same. Key point, an end user should never have to `bundle install`, ever.
- GhotiFish 13y agoit is? Oh... it's made in ruby. https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/tree/master/app/controllers https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/tree/master/app/control... self comment: this post isn't gonna end well :P
- neumann 13y agoAgreed on both counts - I blame Ruby. We enjoy using it, but to new users I would recommend looking into gitbucket https://github.com/takezoe/gitbucket https://github.com/takezoe/gitbucket written in scala and no install necessary!
- js4all 13y agoI didn't know about gitbucket and just tried it. It is a war file that brings everything. It is easy to setup and can run standalone for tests: java -jar gitbucket.war. The UI is mostly github. First impression is really good.
- Touche 13y agoInstalled it and am impressed as well. Wonder how this has stayed underneath the radar. Can turn off that bulky GitLab droplet now.
- girvo 13y agoOh wow. I've been using GitLab since 4.0, but I've not got it completely updated because it's such a pain in the ass. This looks awesome (and gives me a Scala project to hack on!)
- GhotiFish 13y ago
- antman 13y agoIf you prefer python, Rhodecode is free for up to 20 users https://rhodecode.com/features https://rhodecode.com/features
- saboot 13y agoIt was very easy to setup too, and they have immediate feedback if you have problems. We're currently using it at my workplace and loving it.
- quadrangle 13y agoClearly that is not comparable as GitLab is FLOSS.
- sebastiank123 13y agoAs far as I understood, RhodeCode’s core is open source (GPLv3) and even the proprietary parts are free for teams up to 20 users.
- quadrangle 13y agoOk, good to know, but core being open ≠ open.
- sebastiank123 13y agoAnd most important: it also support Mercurial - so no lock-into Git.
- filipedeschamps 13y agoHow does GitLab compares to Gerrit? At work we are massively using Gerrit and loving it, but as I can see, GitLab has also a neat CI integration.
- sytse 13y agoGitLab.com co-founder here. GitLab has merge requests to do code review for feature branches. These include assignments and line comments. You can't assign a review to multiple people but it is easy to mention people to get them to chime in. Also, it has +1 & -1 voting aggregation :-)
- davexunit 13y agoGitLab is cool, but Gitorious is where it's at. 3.0 just came out bringing many improvements and it's AGPL licensed.
- sandGorgon 13y agothere is also http://gitblit.com http://gitblit.com - only dependency is java. looks like its quite feature rich - federation, verdict integration, plugins, active directory integration, etc and doesn't look like a github clone.
- js4all 13y agoWe are using gitblit. Installation and use is super easy. We have integrated it with LDAP for authentication and Jenkins for auto builds using hooks.
- skrebbel 13y agoGitblit surely must be the git world's hidden gem. It's less "Githubby" in features, but stacks up really well to commercial offerings like GitStack or Atlassian Stash. I had the similar "omg, it just works" experience.
- srean 13y agoNot meaning to hijack, but would love to hear about an equivalent for mercurial that runs on linux.
