Enjoying @gitlab so far (it's #FLOSS) https://gitlab.com/brainwane/randomized-dystopia Your experience? For miniprojects, any reason NOT to move GitHub -> GitLab?

I'm now at gitlab.com since they bought (and will be closing) gitorious.org, and so far so good =)


I certainly prefer it over the too-famous-too-huge-too-centralized github.com.

Just to be a nitpick, but the version on gitlab.com isn't fully FLOSS - it's the FLOSS version of gitlab plus some proprietary pieces. But it's certainly better than github which is 100% proprietary :-)

Compared to github though, it's much easier to rehost from gitlab.com and get reasonable feature parity. Most of the proprietary stuff is authz-related stuff that often doesn't come into play.

I guess the two big things people might want are git-annex and hooks.
