If GitLab plays their cards right, they can take the market from github. That, in my book, will be good because unlike github, we can all contribute to making GitLab better.

The only question left is if your servers are powerful enough to run gitlab. Maybe I'll sacrifice a goat for some new server hardware and 256GB of ram.

Don't be cruel to animals. I'll ship you the 256GB of ram personally, email me at sytse at company domain.

By the way, I don't want to troll you, but at my company we use Gitlab 6 self hosted version and I wasn't able to do a simple git push origin master the repo I held in my machine was barely 5MB and still remote server closed connection HTTP 500 I solved it by increasing the POST buffer. I never had this issue with github, maybe you can check why it was an issue with gitlab? it might help to advance your product!

GitLab introduced a new web server (gitlab-workhorse) in 8.0 that's better at handling large HTTP requests. I would suggest upgrading (not just for that reason, there have been tons of improvements and security updates).

Thank you for feedback. We improved git push a lot since version 6. So when you update to recent version it should not be a problem anymore.

cool

Why sacrifice any ol' goat when what you need is [a] ram?
