long past time. what’s taking people so long
what’s taking people so long
besides the fact that there’s no decent alternative for workloads of a certain size/scale?
Which almost nobody needs?
What is missing from GitLab?
A platform that is down for almost a whole day every month does not seem like a decent alternative for those workloads
If you have to ask the question, you haven’t made a serious comparison of the two.
No, I have just migrated my company to self-hosted GL and found a better experience with literally no downsides.
I think it is a fair question, because I really don’t see what could be the deal-breaker. Is it copilot, or the terrible GitHub actions?
There’s always Azure DevOps. Wait…
Yep. Pretty sure it’s just inertia/network effect at this point.
Decentralisation. I don’t want to fall in the same trap picking a huge platform which can only be ran by a large entity. Federation in Forgejo is taking quite long.
We made a PoC on top of Solid which does work so it is clearly possible, but the code quality is too low to trust the solution.
Perhaps we should use git in the distributed manner it was designed
Yeah, too many people don’t know about having multiple remotes
gitlab?
When Nightmare Eclipse got banned from GitHub they were also banned from Gitlab because Microsoft ordered them to. I would not use Gitlab.
They’ve been pushing a lot of AI slop lately, and in general aim to turn gitlab into an AI-coding-first platform, where humans only coordinate AIs. Search for gitlab act 2 if you wanna know more
Why even rely on a web interface for git, just use git
Pull requests and issue trackers
I can do a pull request via email
Why do issue trackers need to be connected?
Genuinely, pull requests being off platform without good integrated diff and merge conflict resolution tooling just doesn’t work at a certain scale.
Like linux kernel scale?
Reason #74 to do so
