Nice. I really like GitLab. Made the move after GitHub started focusing on social justice instead of technology (plus I was tired of the hypocrisy of them making money from OS while keeping all their sources close), and I don't regret it.


Great! Anything you miss, coming from GitHub?


Not really for now.

The only thing, which doesn't really depend on you I assume :), is I wish GitLab was used more often as an authentication mechanism by other services. I don't know if GitLab is actually an OpenID provider or if it's just because it's not popular enough yet.


Great!

GitLab can be an OAuth provider since version 7.7 [0]. I think it takes a while for this to be adopted by other services.

Any advice or help improving this situation is welcome.
