GitLab Reviews

Summary: Overall, GitLab is a great collaborative development tool. If I was setting up a new project from scratch once again I would probably choose this tool over its competitors if the development team was compromised of technically skilled users. Gitlab does require more in-depth individual setup then certain competitors for proper communication which can be a challenge for some users.

Positive: The UI and baseline features are a great asset to this, I generally prefer the GitLab UI, especially the online UI as compared to Github. GitLab also offered when I last configured it more free options than Github, especially in regard to branch management. That said the biggest advantage this used to have as compared to Github was that Gitlab allowed private development for free while Github did not, that said Github changed this in prior years so both are solid choices.

Negative: My main issue with GitLab when trying to use it on freeware projects was that it is more technically challenging to setup than Github. The need to manually get SSH keys can be challenging for those less skilled with technical capabilities. For example, setting up other similar tools such as Github on a project that has various contributors both those with coding abilities as well as less technical roles such as writers or graphic developers, there is the potential for misunderstanding and difficulties in setup.

Summary: GitLab is a great alternative to GitHub, featuring more capable CI/CD tooling and vulnerability checking built in.

Positive: - beautiful interface
- very feature rich, especially in terms of built in CI/CD tooling, which is better than GitHub
- built in software license scanning and vulnerability checking
- free tier for individuals

Negative: - smaller community and less shared open-source projects
