Agreed on both counts - I blame Ruby.

We enjoy using it, but to new users I would recommend looking into gitbucket

https://github.com/takezoe/gitbucket

written in scala and no install necessary!

I didn't know about gitbucket and just tried it. It is a war file that brings everything. It is easy to setup and can run standalone for tests: java -jar gitbucket.war. The UI is mostly github. First impression is really good.

Installed it and am impressed as well. Wonder how this has stayed underneath the radar. Can turn off that bulky GitLab droplet now.

Thanks for letting me know about this little jem. That was an extreme contrast in deployment. I feel like throwing out bitbucket and setting this up on one of our virtual machines. This looks perfect!

Oh wow. I've been using GitLab since 4.0, but I've not got it completely updated because it's such a pain in the ass. This looks awesome (and gives me a Scala project to hack on!)
