The real reason you shouldn't be using GitLab is performance. How is it possible that that page took over a minute to load? Nevermind that the design is completely incomprehensible.
- catalogia 7y agoI make a habit out of pushing to both gitlab and github. Even if github is technically superior, I don't think we're served well in the long run by monocultures. (But yes, gitlab's web interfaces are generally frustrating. Slow, bugged, or just organized in ways I find challenging.)
- swasheck 7y agofurther down the thread are mentioned of ruby on rails. i use gitlab because it allows me > 1 private repo. if there are better solutions then i'm all ears.
- smudgymcscmudge 7y agoHave a look at GitHub. It's a similar service with unlimited private repos for free.
- swasheck 7y agothanks. not sure why i was downvoted but the last time i checked, GH only allowed 1
- catalogia 7y agoThey only started allowing free private repos this year: https://github.blog/2019-01-07-new-year-new-github/ https://github.blog/2019-01-07-new-year-new-github/
- sleepytimetea 7y agoYou are correct but Github allows them now so I moved back to GH.
- davidclark22 7y agoI use Bitbucket, unlimited private repos. I believe Github now offers the same, but didn't ~5 years ago.
- JohnFen 7y agoPerformance and UI are valid considerations for using or not using any service, but not everyone has the same requirements on either of those. If you don't find them acceptable, that's legit. Those are the "real reasons" you shouldn't use it. However, those reasons may not apply to others. They don't apply to me, for instance, and as Gitlab has a lot of users, I'm not alone.
