Ask HN: Use Gitlab vs. GitHub in production?

Hi all,

I just saw Git web based UI management today. I wonder if someone can share their experience using either on of them so I can compare the benefit and drawback of those 2 options. Anyone can share?

Thanks

I like gitlab because of in house installation and much better continous integration and deployment support. Free version is extremely generous with features as well.

But from what I understand, even if you're using github https://about.gitlab.com/features/github/, you can have the CI/CD of gitlab feature.

Also, I wonder what's the benefit of in house installation in your case?

I would use neither in production. Internal repos stay in our development environment where the dev / qa / testing work is done and the artifacts are built. The artifacts are version named and replicated to our data-centers and public clouds.

Our dev environment have several different technologies for git repositories, based on what each service team prefer. The build systems reference their code repos.
