Timely for me. At my workplace, we are migrating to git and the devs would like to use github, but management is expressing reluctance to either rely on an external host or fork out for github enterprise, despite our arguments.

I was already planning on installing gitlab this week to try it out. Anyone here got any advice or suggestions on using it as a Github replacement for a small team?



I haven't used Gitlab, but Gitorious has their source code completely open as well, and it is fairly simple to get set up and running!


We're on an old install of gitosis at my shop, and also keeping an eye out for something to switch to. Gitlab certainly looks appealing, especially given its similarities with github. Having used Gitorious, are there any strengths or weaknesses you see in GitLab that would have either prevented you from using it or made you choose it over Gitorious were you to make the decision over again?


At the time when I was looking Gitlab was in its infancy, and Gitorious was pretty much the only thing out there. The search wasn't exhaustive as it was a "we need to get this working, now." kind of project where we didn't really get a lot of time to play with different platforms.
