Bidding farewell to Google Code

I second this motion. GitLab is amazing. It's open source and easy to deploy on your own hardware so you don't need to trust another provider.

Github is really great for the social experience, but I've been debating switching over to GitLab for all of my development projects.

Thanks for the love furry! We're seeing more people switch, including many from Gitorious. We try to combine the advantages of a good interface and free repositories.

That's a bit disingenuous. GitLab purchased Gitorious--of course people are switching.

Sorry, it would have been better to say we acquired them, thanks for noting this.

BTW, One of your testimonials on your landing page bashes Gitorious (which no longer exists and is part of your company):

> “Gitlab is an excellent option….. not only more user friendly than Gitorious but also easier to install.”

We indeed try to focus on extra features and options GitLab has.
