It's nice to see projects using other things like Gitlab a bit more. I like Github very much but it looked like it was heading in the direction of a monopoly which isn't great for anyone.<p>We use Gitlab at work and I like it very much (but as it replaced Subversion, maybe I'm a little biased).<p>Edit: Fixed the stupid Github/Gitlab swap
Disappointed that a GNU project would host their source code on a non-free SaaS platform. Yes, there's a "community" version of GitLab, but that's not what gitlab.com is running.
GitLab is relatively more free than Github, in the sense that there is a free version of the software you can host yourself.<p>But I still dream of an unequivocally free Git server and Web application, preferably written in Python rather than Ruby. Is there a reason Github, GitLab, and the now-dead Gitorious all chose Ruby?
Good. They (GitLab) deserve all our support for having both a great and free service as well as awesome open source software.<p>We've seen what happens with monopolised infrastructure with github recently.
I hope the whole github fiasco will bring more people to gitlab.
