GitLab - an open source clone of GitHub

Funny. Potential GitHub competitor uses GitHub to store its source code [1].<p>[1] - <a href="http://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq" rel="nofollow">http://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq</a>

This isn't a replacement for GitHub, it's a replacement for the $5000/year self-hosted GitHub.

Is this doing the same thing as <a href="https://gitorious.org/gitorious/" rel="nofollow">https://gitorious.org/gitorious/</a> ?

Been using gitweb with a custom theme by some dude (<a href="https://github.com/kogakure/gitweb-theme" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/kogakure/gitweb-theme</a>). This seems much cleaner and easy to use. When I have some time I'll probably switch over to this if it doesn't have any problems/bugs

<i>All for what you so love github - on your server!</i><p>"Everything you love about github - on your server!"

I like paying for github. They are an important service to me - for open source and private projects, and I want a profitable business to be based on it. I like that they have skin in the game.

Can somebody explain what "All for what you so love github" means? My brain is refusing to make sense of that sentence.

Thanks for proving this, now I don't have to buy the paid githib repos :) I can use this for free for my own projects (private) and the UI is awesome. One of the best open source projects, how long did it took you all to build this?

I've spent my last two weekends on getting Gitolite and GitWeb set up and working well with other tools (cpan mini, Jenkins).<p>I don't know how often I googled for "Open Source GitHub Clone" and never found this.<p>Thanks GitLab!

I use <a href="http://gitblit.com/" rel="nofollow">http://gitblit.com/</a> A great open source github clone. 5 second install, also hosted on github.com.

It doesn't work on Chrome 14.0.835.202. Some issue with the tree slider I think.

Am i just blind or do they seriously have no test suite?<p>It also lacks one of github's most important features: A proper repository+fork graph like this: <a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10190786/octopus.html" rel="nofollow">http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10190786/octopus.html</a>

a cool project, but I use github because I don't want to self-host my git repos

it lacks the AJAX

Quite exciting, given what a rainy hill climb gitorious is and the lack of much else.<p>But: Gitosis?<p>Unless it's back from the dead, its development has long been abandoned. It works just fine, but the new kid on the block is Gitolite, and it makes far more sense.

Looks great but will it be a pain to use GitHub and GitLab for different projects? I'm not too experienced with Git so I'm hopiing that configuring my machines to connect to GitLab won't screw up what I have with GitHub.
