We use Gitlab for about 30 people. The last versions are really neat. The UX is perhaps better with Github, but Gitlab is easier to learn and use, especially for small organisations.
I am always reluctant to use "clones" like gitbucket... If the usage is not the same, why making a clone? Indeed, it is always easier to copy a brand but is it worthwhile?
- sytse 13y agoThanks for mentioning GitLab Cyndll! I hope you like the UI update in 6.5 and let us know if there is anything else we can improve. I'm a GitLab.com co-founder.
- sandGorgon 13y agoYou currently offer Gitlab cloud for free : if you could have a flat storage-based fee model, and throw in some backups, that could be a great way to monetize. alternatively, would love it if you could partner with one of the smaller git providers - like RepositoryHosting or XP-Dev.
- __david__ 13y agoI think it says why, right in the first sentence: "…the easily installable Github clone…" (emphasis mine). I love Gitlab and have a small installation (only 4 users). It's an wonderful github clone and it makes me happy when I use it. However… it's a maintenance nightmare. I've never encountered a more obtuse and maintenance hostile app. I think maybe Rails apps just aren't meant to be distributed and run out in the wild. They are finicky and upgrading is a nightmare. Compare that against, say, Wordpress, which is downright trivial to maintain. And it's darn near invisible if you're willing to sacrifice security for their in-browser updates.
