The network effect („a lot of people already signed up“) is part of the problem.

That it doesn't have to be that way can be seen with #MovingToGitlab back when Microsoft acquired the company.

The UI/UX is something I want to pick up again when time allows.
Perhaps Hacktoberfest can boost it?

+ für Geld angeboten.

Ist ja nicht der erste Aufruf.

Beim Aufkauf damals hieß es auch #MovingToGitlab

Persönlich wünsche ich mir mehr Selbsthosting.
Federation ist aber noch nicht ganz so weit…

@thinkMoult Only used it a little so far, but i'm really impressed by its issue tracking features. Basically everything I'm missing on GitHub is just there in GitLab! Have to look for a free week-end to move all my stuff over. #movingtogitlab

Wow, moving from Github to Gitlab is way easier than I expected. A few clicks and you're done!

What major project that now moved to gitlab or went on a selfhosted solution?

I just finished #movingtogitlab (including GitLab Pages): http://wlair.us.to/blog/2018/06/10/moved-to-gitlab/index.html

RT @jomo: By all means, #movingtogitlab-dot-com does not solve the problem GitHub has (centralization), and moving to a privately hosted GitLab re-introduces the problem GitHub mostly solved (separation).

#GitPub is trying to solve this problem by defining a federation protocol for git services: https://github.com/git-federation/gitpub

GitLab "Ultimate" and "Gold" for self hosting now free for education and open source.

This is GitLab taking this massive opportunity after Microshaft swallowed GitHub and making the best of it.

The more people are moving over now, the better their own future will be in the long run.

GitLab also make migration easier, starting the #movingtogitlab campaign with a straight-forward video etc.

GitLab is open source itself, too.

To be clear, I do think that #movingtogitlab-dot-com is the right thing to do for now. Not because of Microsoft, but because GitLab – as a company – is as transparent as can be, and actually open source, which GitHub is not.

By all means, #movingtogitlab-dot-com does not solve the problem GitHub has (centralization), and moving to a privately hosted GitLab re-introduces the problem GitHub mostly solved (separation).

Who else is riding the #MovingToGitlab train? I've been on #Gitlab for a while but here's my repo anyways: https://gitlab.com/starlifterdigi/

#MovingToGitLab

Well, #MovingToGitlab is still a no-go unless they implement #U2F *without* requiring me to use the Google Authenticator app. I don't have a smartphone and don't feel like digging around for a compatible app for my desktop.

Not supporting SMS is fine, even ideal. But GitHub supports the use of recovery codes as an alternative, and that's I think what GitLab should do as well.
