Multiple edition that can fit your project/company needs (e.g. free SaaS edition, self-hosted community edition, Enterprise). Great developer ergonomics, with plenty of customisations that fulfill all complex development/enterprise requirements.

Cons

Not as good for community features (e.g. public open-source projects, developer profile) compared to Github, which also gets a bit more publicity.

2. Little complex for users to understand this if starting this newly.
3. Taking advance and enterprise features makes it costly.

Pros

User friendly interface, easy to use controls. The Visual Studio Code UI for inline editing of files is very helpful in case we want to update code directly in the web-UI without needing to download the code in local, edit in IDE and then push back it to the source control.

Cons

The latest update had moved the profile and sidebar to the left and has not given proper customization options to the user. The old interface of having it customizable was better.

Pros

Integration of Code repository with pipelines which run on the fly in its own container with minimum effort to deploy.

Cons

Too many features at times make it difficult to look or search or navigate to

Pros

I have been using gitlab for over 6 months now. The actions it has are amazing which has helped me to automate builds and deployments. The authentication was easy.Also, if you have previous experience with github it would not take much time for you to hoop on to this.

Navigating the platform and understanding all its capabilities might require a learning curve for individuals new to the tool.

Pros

It’s good for managing the development assets in IT. Easier to understand the conflicts for new starters also.

Cons

It’s good to have a user interface to understand any conflicts, issues etc., while using

Pros

I enjoyed the encrpytion and protection of our code with GitLab the most, and how it is already compatible with our GitHub branches and repositories.

Cons

The pricing of GitLab and being per user were huge turn-offs for us as a business but understandably considering the nature of the product.

Cons

- Built-in IDE for streamlined coding workflows- Perceived lower importance of the integrated IDE in my development workflow as an experienced developer

Alternatives Considered

Pros

The features that impressed me about gitlab are Version Control, issue tracking, and the ability to automate development workflows through CI/CD. Thank to the intuitive interface and ease of use, it helps to easily implement it into projects. Also the possibility of hosting projects in the Gitlab cloud or deploying locally helps a lot to adapt to needs.

Cons

In very large projects, perfomance and speed may be slowed down. Also the advance configuration that Gitlab offers can be very complex for new users, some features could be simplified and made more accessible. Although Gitlab has a lot of documentation, more tutorials and examples would be needed to fully take advantage of Gitlab.

Pros

GitLab is very easy to use and it has everything I need for software development. I can manage my code, collaborate with my colleagues, and automate my workflow

Cons

Nothing really bad, except it can be a bit slow sometimes. But overall, it's a great tool for developers!

Pros

The way you can easily work with your coworkers, how you can organize your projects, it has AI integration, supports hundreds of plugins and more.

Cons

It’s a little bit expensive but the free trial does the necessary function.

Pros

I came to GitLab years ago from Subversion. The adoption was instant and I never looked back. I had to use other technology for different projects, such as Azure, which still packs a punch but cannot be compared to Gitlab in terms of simplicity, clarity and ease of use. Gitlab i still my go-to source control management tool.

Cons

Very little, everything was making sense to me and was easy to find.
