Announcing new tools, forums, and features

Re:Announcing new tools, forums, and features by sytse on Wednesday September 14, 2016 @05:57PM (#12501538)

To make sure there is no confusion we now refer to ourselves as open core https://about.gitlab.com/about/#stewardship

I want to echo here what I said in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12501271 "If there are features that people think that should belong in the open source edition we're all ears. We've done so before https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10931347 A feature comparison between CE and EE can be found on about.gitlab.com/features/#compare "

Regarding the examples please help me understand:

1. Can you rebase in the GitHub interface?

2. Does GitHub have an option to fast forward merges?

3. Please let me know if this is a feature people want open sourced. EDIT turns out that this is part of the open source edition already https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/app/cont... I created https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/22185 to update the docs

4. We have a commit status API in GitLab CE https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/api/commits.html#commit-status and works with the open source https://github.com/jenkinsci/gitlab-plugin We do have additional integration in EE https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/integration/jenkins.html

BTW you might be happy to learn that what you mention as an example of typical "enterprise-y" feature is available in GitLab CE https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/integration/saml.html

So, when reading the features page, I was considering 1 and 2 in terms of a feature that I use at GitHub religiously: squashed pull requests (that are automatically fast-forwarded) [1].

If I'm reading this correctly, this exists in GitLab as an enterprise feature, so I think my earlier comment isn't too far off. There also appears to be some community feedback suggesting this should be a CE feature [2].

So is Gitlab's aim to just play catchup to Github?

We already have these features, we just opted to make them EE/.com only since we think they are more relevant for organizations that have more than 100 potential users.

We have a broader scope than GitHub, see our announcement broadcasted on Tuesday for more information and a demo https://about.gitlab.com/2016/09/14/gitlab-live-event-recap/

GitLab has had a larger feature set than GitHub for a long time now.

Github compromises by having a nice ecosystem of tools which you can plug in, but having it built in is always nice since the integration is tighter.
