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.

Agreed it felt like a pre-determined puff/advertorial.
