Comment on is it just me or GitHub is turning into some sort of LinkedIn

  Every time I have to try to find things on gitlab I have a generally harder time doing so than on github. Maybe I’m just used to github’s layout, but gitlab’s just seems awkward to me. Also, I think non-tech-savy people will inevitably be confused by having to click “deployments” to get to releases; and on release pages, below where you actually download files, it always says “evidence collection”, which sounds really ominous (for end users)

    I was thinking about switching to GitLab. But after reading your comment… not so much.

      Just check it out, it has an open source base unlike GitHub. If you don’t like it, that’s fine, but like you do t even want to try it now?

  We use gitlab at work.

  If you’re going for hosted, I’d always use github (userbase, UI, free features set). If you’re self hosting, gitlab is a good alternative. Their heavy promotion of and focus on full chain into managed cloud can be irritating and annoying though.

  Gitlab has a free tier too. If you’re curious, try it out.
