I'm afraid it gets a little worse. In an attempt to simplify some of the settings pages, deploy keys were moved onto the repository settings page.

https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/29667

We need to do something about this very soon, so please keep an eye on that issue.

We're going to be doing some more work on settings pages, hopefully in 9.2 and make them a lot better.

People are trying to do this in the UK with businesses like Purple Bricks.

Given the aggregators exist (in the UK, Zoopla & RightMove are our Zillow) that's where all the eyeballs are and how people find properties. You can then list your own property there.

Before I started Gitter, I nearly went into exactly this space, but there are a few negatives:

1. People are generally bad at sales 2. People are generally bad at negotiating 3. People are generally afraid of complex paperwork

Sure, the system can help with these things and maybe nobody has nailed this yet because there are a few companies trying in this space and nobody seems to be coming out on top.

We see Gitter as more of a place than a product. It's a community (single network) where anyone can participate in just about anything. It's about connecting developers around the world to one another through the medium of chat.

Sure it can do similar things to Slack/MatterMost, but that's not the intention of what we're trying to do with it.

This already exists, just not fully on mobile yet, but it's coming.

1. Get a pair of really giant hands 2. Repeat the bit "seeing as they are based here" and make really giant air quotes when you say "based" 3. Profit (without tax)

In more recent versions of GitLab, you can change the project level visibility in a separate drop-down, this will allow visibility to all, but continue to restrict push access.

Hi, Mike here from GitLab. Sorry for the pain! I assume the issue you are referring to is this one? https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/27049

This should be fixed very shortly. Thanks for taking the time to point it out and help others with your blog post.

I've used Gandi just about my entire life for DNS & Certs. It was probably their tagline that sold me.

Anyhoo, they do wildcard for starting at 120,00 € excl. VAT/year.

Mike from Gitter here. We've improved the performance of this quite a lot over the last few months and will soon start implementing local caching that will make this pretty much instantaneous.

I think the best thing about this is that "Open, sesame" gives a green light, 87% and Exceptional status.

It has nothing to do with your company's private repo, it has to do with getting a list of ORGS you belong to.

In fact chats for private repos is a completely separate matter and we allow users to upgrade their access to GitHub's repo scope if they want access to private repos.

Otherwise we'd have to do: * signup (only public repos) * upgrade permissions -> org chats * upgrade permissions -> repo chats

And so then users need to understand three levels of permissions and scope and I don't want to burden people with that level of cognitive overload. It's hard enough to explain to people that they need to elevate privileges to get private repo access.

Whilst a few people share your view, we've had nearly 10,000 grant us this access in a very short space of time and so it's not massively affecting our product right now and we have confidence in the future that GitHub will change their permissions and introduce a read-only permission that we will then switch to.

Yeah we've been talking to them. We've had nearly 10,000 people sign up, given we only launched very recently, I wouldn't say this is killing our business at the moment and we're confident they will deliver a solution in the future.

It would be exceptionally difficult for us to add/delete an SSH key by a bug, because we don't ever call or reference keys anywhere and there's really not much else we do other than GET items.

Feel free to give our IRC bridge a go to. It's very new and still very much in test phase.

Hey,

I've answered this numerous times in this thread, but I'll say it again, very loudly and very definitively: WE DO NOT WRITE TO YOUR SSH KEYS, EVER. EVER. EVER. We don't even read them.

Unfortunately, as beautiful as GitHub's API is, they've got their scopes for permissions completely wrong and we know they are working to fix this.

BitBucket is coming soon! Follow us on twitter for updates (@gitchat)

Thanks! We've got a few people migrating from Campfire and Hipchat to us... :)

Hi,

We don't read, not write anything to do with your SSH keys. In fact, we don't write anything to your profile at all. This is a limitation of GitHub's API scope.

They actually recently announced some more granular scopes for working with webhooks.

So we hope for more to come for other areas of the API.

Hey,

We don't use those permissions, unfortunately as good as GitHub's API is, their scopes are very limited.

Great request, will certainly look into it. We'll also have an iOS app out soon.

Hey Mike,

We don't ever write anything to your profile. As explained in the link below, this is a standard GitHub permission.

Hey, thanks for posting. Mike here from Gitter.

I know a lot of this audience are pretty bullish on IRC and so we're also busy testing an IRC bridge for Gitter. Once you've signed up, feel free to go to https://irc.gitter.im and give it a whirl.

Feel free to leave any feedback on Gitter here or get in touch with us via our chat room: https://gitter.im/gitterHQ/gitter or http://support.gitter.im

we're busy working on IRC integration right now!

Both are on the radar, but not sure on timing yet.

we're actually working on an IRC bridge.

always interested in this position though. it's far more feature rich than IRC, in our opinion a better experience.

:) I spent hours making that screenshot

hi @guptaneil,

we provide a much deeper level of integration with GitHub, and also have integrations with Travis, Jenkins, Trello and are working on more. our issue mentioning and markdown are two really great features built for developers.

there are a few other advantages, for one we handle both free open source projects as well as private conversations. so you can have all of your chat in one place.

for people adopting a new chat programme, inheriting your "social graph" in the form of your org members and repos you belong to/watch/star also means that getting up and running with gitter is really fast and simple.

You mean just the basic level @facorreia?
