What do you like best about GitLab?

1-> i like the user interface of gitlab because its beginner friendly and easy to use. a whole team can manage a single or multiple projects and they can work on their own branches and the code can be pushed , reviewed and deployed. everything is at one place.

2-> the tracking of code changes is awesome you con switch between diff commits or versions of code. anyone can't push pull or deploy the changes only those who have correct rights will be able to use that functionality.

3-> its perfect for both large scale and small scale projects.complete developement life cycle is managed via gitlab in a very beautifull manner.

4-> from code pull to code push from code reviews to pushing code review changes from bug tracking to bug resolution everything works perfectly smooth.

5-> i love to use gitlab at workplace.its irreplaceable tool in terms of everything that you need for developement Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitLab?

1-> sometimes the code that you have pushed won't be visible to you for few minutes. it means code push does not work in real time.

2-> comparing multiple commmits is little bit complex.

3-> premium features are overpriced.

4-> little bit slow while loading when we press any button at UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GitLab?

I think in GitLab I see more features and a realising experience with the user-friendly interface. GitLab stores the project source code and there is a CI/CD feature. I use this feature for my project to continue integration and development purpose Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GitLab?

I was using SVN earlier from using Gitlab, and I was told by my employer to switch to Gitlab first I was a little skeptical that this would not be an upgrade, but I was wrong there as when I started using Gitlab the community of this product helped me a lot as it has a vast community of developers in different platforms like StackOverflow and Reddit.

The best part of this product which I liked the most is revert & cherry-pick commands which basically helped code review meetings better and I can just see all the logs and revert the issue commit within a few seconds Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitLab?

Since GitLab is mainly for private projects there are little downsides to it as well for instance, there are times when I have seen GitLab down and had to search on the web for its solution. This is never or very rare issue with Github or SVN. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GitLab solving and how is that benefiting you?

As I said the cherry-pick command and revert command helped me a lot as there was a time when I used to write code and then when I needed to cherry-pick the code to the other branch for a different web environment I had to struggle a lot with code complying and code duplicacy. But after cherry-pick and the great UI of the software I can easily track and resolve the issue when reverting changes.

It also helped me good amount with code review and peer review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GitLab?

Repository Management is the best thing that i like in GitLab. It provides web-based repository creation and management interface. With its support for both private and public repositories, we can work together on projects with various levels of access. it's so convenient Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitLab?

In my personal opinion, GitLab has a learning curve because of its extensive feature set, maybe some users may find that it takes some time to become skilled in utilizing this platform in all of its facets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GitLab solving and how is that benefiting you?

while we work as a team, we can effectively collaborate, keep track of changes, and preserve the codebase's versioned history with GitLab. This helps to avoid conflicts, the undoing of modifications, and the preservation of an accurate record of the development process. This is so beneficial Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GitLab?

I'm using Gitlab for a little over a year and must say it has been a smooth ride using it. For anyone who's used Github before can easily navigate Gitlab well. Codebase along with branching, merging and conflict resolution is effectively managed. The best part is CI/CD integration where our entire deployment can be instantly automated by creating pipelines. Overall, everthing is well documented, what each feature does is explained well. Lastly, it is a good tool for large scale organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitLab?

The number of features on the UI are a bit overwhelming, but it gets better eventually after one uses it for long time. Also, the most recent commits take few seconds to be visible, this might be a bug which can be easily fixed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GitLab solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a developer, version control is the most important thing at my job. My entire team can view each group member's code, create branches for development/testing/production, push and pull latest code to our local enviroment, deploy using CI/CD and so much more. For anyone looking to start a career in software development, gitlab is a must to master. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
