Ask HN: Why the GitHub/GitLab integration is so terrible?

1 pointsby tcrewsalmost 8 years ago
It&#x27;s like they don&#x27;t want developers to have a presence on both services (without a lot of hassle).<p>Wouldn&#x27;t it be in GitLab&#x27;s best interest, being the newcomer, to integrate way better and enable a smooth transition?

Which part of integrating with GitLab do you find difficult? We&#x27;d love to talk about it and improve.<p>Maybe we could open some issues and talk about what you&#x27;d like to have but is missing, or some things you think we&#x27;re doing wrong.<p>* You could use our API to integrate with GitLab [1]<p>* You could develop a fullblown project service and contribute it to the codebase [2]<p>* You could use custom webhooks to add custom functionality [3]<p>[1] - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.gitlab.com&#x2F;ee&#x2F;api&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.gitlab.com&#x2F;ee&#x2F;api&#x2F;</a><p>[2] - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.gitlab.com&#x2F;ce&#x2F;user&#x2F;project&#x2F;integrations&#x2F;project_services.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.gitlab.com&#x2F;ce&#x2F;user&#x2F;project&#x2F;integrations&#x2F;project...</a><p>[3] - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.gitlab.com&#x2F;ce&#x2F;user&#x2F;project&#x2F;integrations&#x2F;webhooks.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.gitlab.com&#x2F;ce&#x2F;user&#x2F;project&#x2F;integrations&#x2F;webhook...</a>

It&#x27;s git. Just add the gitlab remote and push.
