I don't know, Gitlab seems a little too enterprisey for me. For example their documentation is too 'serious' they link to martin fowler's wiki for "feature branch" and wikipedia for "feature driven development". Their gitlab flow has waterflow development like production branch with things going to "production".I do oss for fun, not to go to another job after the first one.
They don't have the cool hipster vibe that github has, github earned their street cred. A copy cat will always be a copy cat.
All these features ppl are asking for are against the ethos of github. Can somone give github props for well implemented git lfs.
sorry gitlab guy who is watching this thread if that was too harsh.
