When GitLab starts to fully support automatic Let's Encrypt certificate generation with GitLab Pages — just like GitHub, I would strongly consider moving.

AFAIK it's in the pipeline to be added, but seems to not be a #1 priority[1]. Please let me know otherwise.

Out of literally bajillion features GitLab provides from DevOps lifecycle to project management and everything in between, Lets Encrypt certificates is what will make you switch? Are you serious?

Why would I not be? I see it as a feature that I would like to exist. And yes, they to have many features, but atm. I don't use them to the extend that I must switch at this second.

For future school project, I do see myself using GitLab. As you yourself said, they have many good features. (After been forced to used Bitbucket for a school project, I'm happy to use anything else.)

Hi! It is actively being worked on, but it didn't make it into this release. It is scheduled for the 11.11 release, and we don't foresee it being pushed back any further. Thanks for your feedback!

That is nice. Glad to hear.

Will be watching out for the new release via the blogs RSS. ;)

I get around this by using netlify[1]. It's free, one simple TOML file, and has plenty of features that make it worth the extra.

Been testing Netlify as well. A good service for sure. :)

Can't use Netlify if you self-host Gitlab. (I wish we could!)

Why not? You might not be able to automatically hook it in via their UI, but can't you just do everything with the CLI in the GitLab CI? I mean I don't see a reason why this wouldn't work.

It would be nice indeed, but it’s also trivial to do with a few lines in the CI file
