I really don't know what to hope for.

All that I do now that I really enjoy watching what looks like a full on feature battle between GitLab and GitHub going on at this moment. As a guy who uses both (GitLab for my job, GitHub personally), I feel like I'm getting the best of both worlds.

Although, to be perfectly honest, it feels to me like, at this point of the "feature battle", GitLab started embracing and actually improving every single thing I liked about GitHub to the point where I'm questioning my stay on GitHub for personal projects.

Considering Gitlab is the more open source of the two, the answer has to always be gitlab.

Albeit, it still sucks most free software communities cannot use self-hosted gitlab because too many features are stuck in the enterprise edition, but its way better than what github is offering, which is nothing.

now if only they could get gitlab.com page loads consistently under 1 second...

x_x

Yes, we should fix the slow page loads on GitLab.com. We're working on it in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/operations/issues/42 I'm sorry for the current slowness.

This is my first week at Gitlab. I've joined along with a few other people (one of whom has a great big bushy beard) to specifically make you happy.

There are interesting challenges that currently make this none trivial but expect things to improve greatly in the near future.

Yup! It supposedly is written in a much more efficient language, but it severely slower than GitHub and Bitbucket.

It's written in Ruby like Github, but the latter have considerably more experience running high-traffic systems.

Just perused their job page and will apply this week. Sound like they could use some Varnish and Ceph talent :)

Oh, I confused it with Gogs, sorry!

For sure we're interested in people that have experience with Ceph.

Yeah the site is taking a ridiculous amount of time to load.
