GitLab is now dead.
I've been running it for a 3 digit userbase in a professional context for 7years. It worked great in the beginning, but over that time it has become more and more annoying and difficult to administrate, riddled with bugs, always pushing half baked features and leaving broken basics to be dealt with by customers.
They're now doubling down on slopifying everything.
Users beware. Escape while you still can. I probably won't be able to.
