If you'd like to compare the GitLab and Gogs, I have a couple vagrant VMs you can clone and 'vagrant up' to kick the tires:

  - https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-vagrant-examples/tree/master/gitlab
  - https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-vagrant-examples/tree/master/gogs
Right now I still have a very basic git server for personal use with a bunch of bare repos and no UI, but I'm sorely tempted to start using Gogs or GitLab. GitLab wins for polish so far, but Gogs has caught up very quickly, and feels slightly faster.


GitLab is great, I've run it since version 3, but I am about to switch to Gogs. The reasoning is that GitLab is pretty painful to deploy, and frustrating to update to newer versions from older ones. Gogs seems a lot faster too, and it has every feature I need. GitLab comes into its own if you've got a large team however, but in that case I'd probably use Phabricator instead :)


GitLab B.V. CEO here, thanks for using GitLab since version 3. We know that there have been some painful upgrades. Since we have packages the upgrades have been much easier. Please consider switching to a package install.


I have at work :D

That's where I find GitLab super useful. My use-case however is just me, a single user, on a tiny VPS so GitLab is overkill. Awesome software though, and I'm a massive fan


Thanks Girvo!


Wow, I don't know how something like Phabricator slipped under may radar, that looks amazing. Many props to their copy writer(s), seemed every page was fun to read.
