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.

About

Old analytics measure surface level signals. Merico directly analyzes the code, measuring what matters with deep program analysis. Engineering performance is challenging to measure. Few companies try, most that do use inaccurate and misleading signals, while missing hidden opportunities for recognition, improvement, and advancement. Until now, analytics and evaluation tools have focused on superficial metrics to assess quality and productivity. Developers know this isn't the right way. This is why we built Merico. With commit-level analysis, your team get the insights they need directly from the codebase. With Merico the information is immune to the inaccuracies that can be generated from measuring processes. With a direct relationship to the code, developers can improve, prioritize, and evolve with specifity. With Merico, teams can create clear shared goals, while tracking progress, productivity, and quality with practical benchmarks.

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.
