I also feel like you're painting companies outside Silicon Valley with a pretty broad brush. There's nothing about a healthy engineering culture that makes it unique to Silicon Valley, and there are many, many companies in those r

Hey Nathan, I'm very curious about what you mean by "I also don't think they have a very good company culture". I've been at GitLab since early 2015 (employee #10), and the culture is one of the major reasons why I

Just to verify, are you talking about the _real_ Peppa Pig videos, or the fake, weird ones? Because as far as I can gather using Wikipedia, Entertainment One is the company behind the _real_ Peppa Pig. If you're saying that there is al

Note that "you can only submit patches from your repo to the single repo that you forked from" is no longer true for GitLab starting with 10.1 (released October 22, see https://about.gitlab.com/2017/10/22

GitLab backend lead here, and the guy who developed that feature :) What you're describing is indeed a departure from previous behavior, but I think it is a change for the better, even if it may take a little bit of getting used to. Yo

If you copy-paste the URL for a specific comment into a new comment it will show as `#123 (comment 234)` and link to that comment. There is no special reference syntax to link to a specific comment, because it's much more likely that y

Mattermost is not enabled on GitLab.com, in part because it's not prepared for multi-tenancy, and in part because it is shipped with the GitLab package specifically for people who want to have a self-hosted development and collaboratio

Depending how small the fix is, you can edit a file in any project right from the GitLab interface, and a fork and merge request will be created automatically in the background! The only thing left to do is to remove the fork after the MR h

We compare GitLab with a bunch of other tools on our website: https://about.gitlab.com/comparison/ . We don't have a section on Phabricator yet, but if you end up trying both GitLab and Phrabicator, please consider

CE does support restricting branches to specific roles: Master and Developer. In your case, I would suggest giving this single maintainer the Master role (which they already have if they're the owner of the project), making everyone el

Yep, you're right, our Markdown documentation describes a lot of GitLab Flavored Markdown that will (currently) only work inside GitLab itself, not on the docs site which uses a completely different Markdown renderer. I've added a

It's not a coincidence! I study Computer Science at Utrecht University and work at GitLab, so https://git.science.uu.nl only made sense :) A little bit of stalking shows me we're actually in a class together, see you o
