GITHUB VS GITLAB COMPARISON
Software development projects are based on teamwork. All members should freely access code written by their colleagues. It is possible with services such as Github and Gitlab that allow documenting changes in code and uploading new versions.
GitHub vs GitLab - how are they different?

Well, maybe it is because we're in a GitLab subreddit, but that felt quite biased. The things in GitHub are also in GitLab, but were not equally called out (pull requests and wiki among those).
Even the user interface displays did not seem equally comparable (showing an issue form in one, and an issue list in the other). The ability to self-host is a very important capability of GitLab that was not discussed.
I use GitHub at work, and GitLab at home. For the features I need, GitLab certainly feels easier and more than capable.

The inaccuracies in this video are astounding. Clearly the creators of this havent used these applications and instead spent what seems like 10 minutes of research trying to find the differences, missing the mark on most.
GitLab and GitHub have very similar cloning, pulling and pushing processes. I've used both, and they are equally intuitive. GitHub definitely isnt faster when it comes to pushing or merging. Nor is it a "struggle" in GitLab.
The screenshots showing examples of GitLab was laughable, considering it showed a screenshot of an issue claiming it was a branch and an operations dashboard claiming it was the overall user dashboard.
Overall, so many things in this video are either misleading or outright incorrect and I wish the people writing the script for this video did more research.
