So is GitLab the new GitHub for opensource?

I was wondering the same. I thought Atlassian had better rapport among devs
than GitLab.

~~~
sjm-lbm
Does Atlassian have better rapport with the businessy set that often makes
purchasing decisions? Yes.

Better rapport with developers? Probably not.

(and, FWIW, we use Bitbucket/Jira and honestly I'm fine with them - their
updates just tend to be full of the annoying things a bad PHB would love and
light on the things developers care about)

No sales people pushing the products makes it a little harder for it to be a
push down from the businessy-set.

Maybe they should change their Twitter bio. It leads with "GitLab is open
source software" but if they move many of the users of the Community Edition
to GitLab Ultimate, they will stop feeling the pain points of the Community
Edition and too many core features will be Enterprise-only, and the Community
Edition will fall into disuse.

I like this. I just don't know if it's a smart idea. Some threads since the
announcement have complained about the performance of Gitlab (in varying ways,
from website to CI). Is providing free access to an overloaded system really
the best course? Will this negativity impact paying customers? This is the
right thing to do, but preparation might have been a good first step.

I've seen no comments of gitlabs recent performance. Performance today may be
very different from a year or two ago when all these opinions were formed.

Awesome response. I signed up years ago because they do unlimited free private
repos, though I wondered how they
ems to me they're the more active of the two. (See for yourself: go to both 
 Github repositories, hit' insight' and match the past month .) Gitea was 
 apparently forked because they want more community driven exploitation quite
