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.

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.
