For those who aren't familiar, Gitlab is essentially an open-source clone of Github.<p>For those who already use it, this is a good time to upgrade, because multiple security vulnerabilities were recently fixed [1]. (You can upgrade to a patch version within the same major/minor release, e.g. 6.2.3 to 6.2.4, but it's not too much more effort to just upgrade to the latest 6.3 release).<p>[1] <a href="http://blog.gitlab.org/multiple-critical-vulnerabilities-in-gitlab/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.gitlab.org/multiple-critical-vulnerabilities-in-...</a>
If you want to give it a try in your computer or in the cloud you can use one of the images from bitnami. We already have updated them to gitlab 6.3<p><a href="http://bitnami.com/stack/gitlab" rel="nofollow">http://bitnami.com/stack/gitlab</a>
I'm considering GitLab for use at work. How does it stack up against Atlassian Stash? (<a href="https://www.atlassian.com/software/stash/overview" rel="nofollow">https://www.atlassian.com/software/stash/overview</a>)
2 biggest downsides to GitLab:<p>1) It's a resource hog. Big time.<p>2) It's incredibly hard to set up. The installation instructions and the development instructions are essentially the same. Key point, an end user <i>should never</i> have to `bundle install`, <i>ever</i>.
there is also <a href="http://gitblit.com" rel="nofollow">http://gitblit.com</a> - only dependency is java.<p>looks like its quite feature rich - federation, verdict integration, plugins, active directory integration, etc and doesn't look like a github clone.
