Are there open-source alternatives apart from Gitlab that anyone can recommend? I must say that Meat looks very good.

Gogs is interesting but it doesn't have a full pull request workflow built in. It runs on super small hw requirements which makes it nice if you just want to use it for yourself.

  Can second that, gogs is great. It takes 5 minutes to set up and the source is all on github.

  Too bad that it doesn't have pull requests, but that still makes it acceptable for private projects. Might just be the excuse for buying another raspberry ;).

There's https://kallithea-scm.org https://kallithea-scm.org, but I haven't tried it.

  It's a fork from Rhodecode if anyone is wondering. New version of Rhodecode offers git/hg/svn while Kallithea offers git/hg

  Thanks for the suggestion. I don't really like the interface though. Meat looks a lot nicer.

http://phabricator.org http://phabricator.org is actually really great. It started in-house at Facebook. We've been using for the better part of year and I absolutely love it's code and design review tools. It also has a really nice CLI for managing your different reviews. Oh, and you don't have to worry about actually hosting the repos yourself (not worth the headache to me), you can just connect it to your github repo. Don't be scared by the fact that it's done in PHP. It's actually really well done is very active in bringing out new updates and features.

  I also highly recommend Phabricator - it has excellent tools, active (paid) developers who are excellent people, and is very easy to maintain and use. I also think it simply scales to bigger projects much more effectively than GitHub (in some important ways - like emphasizing rebase and small, continuous development, a better UI, and better notification and commenting/review system as well). That's just me, though. We use it for GHC, and I've had bugs fixed within 10 minutes of finding them on our live install thanks to the devs. They've also helped us write extensions and customize our Phab install. We've had a very good experience all around.

  Cool suggestion, I will give it a try. Great that it works with existing repos.

  Definitely want to check this out. Did they redo their site post F8? I had talked w/ some FB devs at the react conference and one said that the code review process at FB was the #1 thing that made him a better programmer day in day out.

Hi mosselman, just curious to know why GitLab doesn't fit your need.
- mosselman 11y ago
  I am not sure that it doesn't. I found it a bit of a pain to setup the last time I tried though. Apart from that I mostly meant 'apart from Gitlab' because I have already played around with it and was looking for a fun new thing to try out.

    OK, thanks for the feedback. Installation has become much easier over the years. Please let me know if you run into any problems with https://about.gitlab.com/downloads/ https://about.gitlab.com/downloads/
