I was going to point out that GitHub pages are so great for hosting static content that that alone keeps me in GitHub. But looks like GitLab already implements their equivalent.
Too bad it looks like they don't handle enabling TLS/SSL for custom domains as conveniently as GitHub does (e.g. one click to enable and they will then get the cert through LetsEncrypt or something without me having to bother with getting it from a CA, renewals etc.) [1].
Already commented about this elsewhere, but if anyone from GitLab is reading, this thing would make any potential transition much more convenient for me.

For what it's worth, I started using Netlify (https://www.netlify.com/) for my static sites a while ago, and it's been great. Automatic LE support is definitely one of my favorite features.
Burn them, then update all your projects on GitHub to have nothing but a readme with a link to the video :p
Damn, that is a brilliant idea. Spread the word :)

Give them away to homeless people, you'd love the irony, or simply send them to me (L/XL).
Not sure what to do with all my Github tshirts now :)
