Something I consider for quite a while: Would it be possible to use GitLab as a 'frontend' only? With remote repositories?
I ask, because our company recently killed of a Gitorious instance that worked fine for ~5 years, to 'upgrade' us to TFS and there are quite some .. issues and limitations with that idea. Looking for a way to make IT happy ('yes, code is stored in TFS') and keep a usable/productive environment.
- sytse 11y agoI'm sorry but that is not possible. You would have to use scripts to mirror the repos https://github.com/samrocketman/gitlab-mirrors https://github.com/samrocketman/gitlab-mirrors but we don't recommend it.
- darklajid 11y agoThanks a lot for the 'official' answer. Appreciated, not unexpected, but sad. Actually that link DOES look quite interesting..
- sytse 11y agoDon't do it! :)
- darklajid 11y agoOr else? ;-) Frankly, I'm torn and might spin up a test instance on Monday (it's a day off here) to give it a try. Can't do jack about TFS hosting the sources, but anything that gives me a saner/better interface and usable issues etc. on top would be .. awesome.
- sytse 11y agoOK, go for it :)
