Why are people #movingtogitlab?
I love @gitlab, the integration between code repository, documentation management, issue tracking and CI/CD is seamless ... and free. @github moving to Microsoft could be huge for GitLab https://t.co/t9Jzyf9dmV

Even if you go with https://t.co/e5iMjTswKf at first, the fact you’re able to quickly run your own GitLab CE install and migrate from https://t.co/e5iMjTswKf is crucial.

No problem, I mean what's not to love? You improve consistently, you listen to the community and you make using your platform feel like you're a part of something special. I support you all the way, I have no need to be #movingtogitlab as I've used @gitlab for nearly 2 years now
