About

Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. Git is easy to learn and has a tiny footprint with lightning fast performance. It outclasses SCM tools like Subversion, CVS, Perforce, and ClearCase with features like cheap local branching, convenient staging areas, and multiple workflows. You can query/set/replace/unset options with this command. The name is actually the section and the key separated by a dot, and the value will be escaped.

About

GitLab is a complete DevOps platform. With GitLab, you get a complete CI/CD toolchain out-of-the-box. One interface. One conversation. One permission model. GitLab is a complete DevOps platform, delivered as a single application, fundamentally changing the way Development, Security, and Ops teams collaborate. GitLab helps teams accelerate software delivery from weeks to minutes, reduce development costs, and reduce the risk of application vulnerabilities while increasing developer productivity. Source code management enables coordination, sharing and collaboration across the entire software development team. Track and merge branches, audit changes and enable concurrent work, to accelerate software delivery. Review code, discuss changes, share knowledge, and identify defects in code among distributed teams via asynchronous review and commenting. Automate, track and report code reviews.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • - It has a two-step and commit and push feature, which makes the code pushing process easy and fast. - Pull request saves a lot of work time to see the new changes from the other teammates without having to clone the code again. - Switching between branches is easy and fast. - It makes the management of code base easy with single line commands.
  • - It helps in version controlling the code base of any project. - Multiple branches can be created, and it is quite easier to switch between the branch. - Pulling, pushing and merging is effortless to do. - It is not heavy on the system memory and tiny in file size.
  • 1. Git is the best and most used application by any developer because of its features and tools. 2. It helps in version controlling application with just few clicks. 3. The branch features helps tremendously when working with teams in a common project. 4. The pulling and pushing of code is easy and fast.
  • - It helps a lot in version controlling any project. - The pushing, merging and pulling all works great every time. - Cloning any application just takes seconds. - It is fast, robust and secure.
  • - Git helps in version control of the projects so that record of the projects can be saved for future use. - Git branch feature helps extremely for teams working on the same project. - It is extremely light and does not take up a lot of processing power of the system.

Cons

  • - It is not interactive and takes a lot of time to get used to it, especially for beginners.
  • - The commands can be a bit difficult to understand initially.
  • 1. There is no native graphical user interface for the application, so the user always have to use it by terminal or use third-party applications.
  • Honestly, there isn't any downside to this tool, everything works great.
  • - Git is a must-have tool and does not any con whatsoever.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • For my needs the free version was more than sufficient to make available public files lost when designer passed away. Was working to consolidate the files and information into one PDF via LibreOffice in organized well indexed cross referenced document to allow those wanting to build this highly sensitive seismometer to do so rather than fish about the files of odd names or hidden in zip files. I am a retired software engineer that role included managing source control systems and project within including ensuring builds worked. Hence I have worked with many vendor solutions as well as create in house source control systems over many years. I have had privilege to use some excellent SCM years ago that is not even close to "modern" SCM currently and in past years.
  • The UI and baseline features are a great asset to this, I generally prefer the GitLab UI, especially the online UI as compared to Github. GitLab also offered when I last configured it more free options than Github, especially in regard to branch management. That said the biggest advantage this used to have as compared to Github was that Gitlab allowed private development for free while Github did not, that said Github changed this in prior years so both are solid choices.
  • - GitLab provides a user-friendly user interface to version control the and collaborate with teams on projects. - Admin can assign various roles to the developer, providing him limited control over the code base. - Code comparison user interface is intuitive and helps a lot in reviewing the code before merging. - It is free to use for personal use.
  • With GitLab, it is pretty easy to create repositories and manage the permissions. Different roles like developers and owner can be assigned to a repository. Various tasks like creating branches, pushing code, cloning and merging can be done easily. The code can be reviewed before merging and the review interface is detailed and display all the important key points. It is available for free for individuals. The user interface is modern and intuitive.
  • 1. GitLab has the best user interface among every other version control tools. 2. Creating a repository and managing it is a pretty easy task with GitLab. 3. The learning curve is relatively lower than other alternatives. 4. It has good integration with third-party software programs like Jira and VS Code.

Cons

  • Impossible to accomplish most basic of basic tasks like create folder, upload files. Impossible to delete account. Impossible to use help as often goes to page not found. Annoying have to open ticket to request account delete. Very annoying as some point cloudflare intercepts saying need to confirm human
  • My main issue with GitLab when trying to use it on freeware projects was that it is more technically challenging to setup than Github. The need to manually get SSH keys can be challenging for those less skilled with technical capabilities. For example, setting up other similar tools such as Github on a project that has various contributors both those with coding abilities as well as less technical roles such as writers or graphic developers, there is the potential for misunderstanding and difficulties in setup.
  • - Merge conflicts can be a bit tricky to resolve sometimes because of the instruction.
  • The system becomes noticeably slower when scaling the projects, hence, in my experience, I didn't find it the best version control platform for scalable projects.
  • 1. There isn't anything to dislike about the tool, it is easy to use, intuitive and has a really good support.
